The Veterans Legal Project provides free legal services to low-income veterans. Some of the areas of law addressed include: family law, housing and foreclosure issues, debt collection, landlord/tenant law, and estate planning. We conduct informative clinics and also provide direct representation. We have ties with other agencies in the community to establish a network of holistic service. We are working on partnering with a local VA Medical Center to accompany their community clinic program that is operated out of a Rural Mobile Health Clinic vehicle to better reach out to our more rural population.
