FRANKFORT, Ind. (February 10, 2023) – Clinton County residents facing eviction or housing instability now have a free legal resource at their fingertips with a newly installed kiosk. The kiosk with access to IndianaLegalHelp.org was installed in the second-floor hallway of the County Courthouse outside the Clerk’s Office.
“Navigating the legal system on your own can be difficult, but is an individual choice,” stated County Clerk Stephanie Harshbarger via a county press release. “The Indiana Legal Help kiosk is a wonderful resource for members of our community to access legal information and resources, including those who don’t have internet or the ability to print or scan documents at home.”
The Indiana Bar Foundation received a 13-million-dollar, two-year grant from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority to fund the development and deployment of 120 self-help kiosks. At least one will be placed in each of Indiana’s 92 counties. Each kiosk provides legal forms, instructional videos, referrals to free and low-cost legal services, and a statewide calendar of free legal advice clinics. The kiosks will begin offering other legal topics later this year.
Individuals needing legal help with an eviction or housing instability are encouraged to access resources offered at IndianaLegalHelp.org.
