What is an IPO and who can it help? How do you get one? These frequently asked questions address these questions and more.
It can be very stressful when you owe debts that you can’t pay. However, there are laws that protect you and some of your property from your creditors.
Bankruptcy is a federal court process to help people get a fresh financial start. It works by getting rid of debt they can’t manage or making arrangements to repay unmanageable debt. This is called “discharging debt.” The person filing for bankruptcy is called the ‘debtor’ and the people or businesses owed money to are called ‘creditors.’
Kentucky Law Protects
Kentucky Law (KRS 383.300) protects survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking who have protective orders AND entered into or renewed a lease on or after June 29, 2017.
Note: In some places in Kentucky, landlords and tenants have certain rights that are not available in other parts of Kentucky, through the Uniform Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (“URLTA”). Be aware that, at this time, the only places in AppalReD’s service area that have adopted these rules are Barbourville and Pulaski County. For the rest of AppalReD’s service area, the following
rules will apply.
Eviction Information
The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services has information on elder abuse and neglect and how to get help.
Call 1-(877) 597-2331 to report abuse/neglect/exploitation or request services.
The online Kentucky Child/Adult Protective Services Reporting System is available to report non-emergency situations that do not require an immediate response from DCBS staff.
VAWA Protects
VAWA is a law that protects survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking from discrimination by certain federally funded housing providers. These protections apply even if you don't qualify for protection under Kentucky law (ie. do not have a protective order).
Winter weather is tough for everyone, but it can be especially hard for families with low incomes.
