PREVENT HOMELESSNESS
Now, individuals and families have hopefully received the essential assistance to prevent homelessness.
Individuals and families begin the process by connecting with Legal Aid Service of Broward County (Legal Aid). Then, Legal Aid’s team evaluates the case and works with the family or individual to determine if they qualify for the Program and help determine what, if anything, can be done to prevent them from becoming homeless. This may include referring them to others for support services and/or having LEGAL AID provide legal services. To qualify, among other things, the household income of the individual or family cannot exceed 200% of the established poverty level, and the legal services will be provided by LEGAL AID at no cost to the individual or family involved.
This process aims to meet an individual or family’s needs in receiving the support and/or legal services they need to prevent them from becoming homeless.
