Eligibility for clients reporting low income may vary and changes each year and depends on family size, household income and the assets available to the household. LSEM will ask for information to assess this eligibility before a potential client gets any advice from an advocate. We will determine eligibility according to our program policies and the requirements of our funding sources.
The majority of our legal services are available for persons who are at or slightly over the Federal poverty levels. Families who receive government benefits or work at lower wage jobs are most likely to qualify for services.
Eligibility for Seniors, those facing foreclosure and those who may have been discriminated against in housing is not restricted based upon financial eligibility.
This program and/or service is funded in whole or in part by Genesee County Senior Millage funds. Your tax dollars are at work.
