Introducing our new website!

We’re proud to announce that after months of hard work, our staff has developed a newly designed website with the help of 180 Degrees Consulting, a team of students from IU’s Kelley School of Business. Not only were they integral to the redesign of the website, but they also designed the newsletter, our 2018 Annual Report, a new trifold brochure, and a social media audit.
A very big thank you to Sophie Harwood, Client Lead; Morgan Paul, Engagement Lead; Blake Bradley, Senior Consultant; Amanda Hermann, Junior Consultant; and
James Hasting, Junior Consultant

Meet Franci, Our Housing Client
Franci’s story begins with her health starting to fail and Franci becoming unable to keep up with the demands of both the inside and outside of the home she owns. As a result, a neighbor filed a complaint and FrancI was cited in Court for Health Code violations. Without anyone to help her and living on a fixed income, Franci was not able to resolve these issues on her own. This meant Franci was in danger of being ordered to vacate her home.
Legal Aid was able to help Franci after receiving a referral from the Health Department regarding Franci’s case. In less than a year, Franci achieved compliance with the Health Code and is now able to stay in her home and focus on her health. According to Franci, “What started as a nightmare turned into a godsend with the help of Legal Aid.”
The Indiana Supreme Court heard about Franci’s story and invited her to the 2019 State of the Judiciary where Chief Justice Rush recognized Franci in her remarks regarding the judiciary’s commitment to closing the justice gap for people like Franci. “Today, Franci is in her home. Having a lawyer represent her made all the difference,” said Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta H. Rush.
