This overview will focus on those available services that are most relevant to older adults.  Celese Fazioli of Maryland Legal Aid will present.

About Legal Aide:  Established in 1911, Maryland Legal Aid is a statewide nonprofit 501(c)(3) law firm that advocates with and for Marylanders experiencing poverty to achieve equity and social justice through free civil legal services, community collaboration, and systemic change. From its 12 offices around the state and through its many community-based clinics, Maryland Legal Aid helps its clients preserve and access safe and affordable housing; maintain custody of their children and be safe from domestic violence; and increase their economic security by defending against consumer debt including foreclosures and tax sales, removing barriers to employment and accessing critical income supports such as Medicaid, SNAP, unemployment, and other vital public benefits. Maryland Legal Aid seeks systemic change through impact litigation and storytelling.

This program is in association with Poolesville Seniors.  Registration is not required but encouraged.
