Providing organization
VERMONT LEGAL AID
Vermont Legal Aid (VLA) is a non-profit law firm providing civil legal services for those living in poverty, for individuals with a disability, or for Vermonters over age 60. VLA also serves anyone who is discriminated against in housing issues and all who have challenges related to health insurance or health services. VLA partners with Legal Services Vermont, a federally-funded, non-profit organization that provides a variety of legal services and also manages the legal helpline that handles requests for legal help for both organizations. Both organizations work together to provide broad and in-depth legal help to low-income Vermonters. Vermont Legal Aid's statewide services are offered from five regional offices in Vermont.
