Free Legal Services for Veterans Experiencing or At Risk of Homelessness
AppalReD Legal Aid's Legal Services for Veterans (LSV) helps veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Our attorneys provide monthly drop-in clinics at the VA clinics in Somerset, Hazard, and Berea. AppalReD receives direct referrals from the VA system in Lexington since members of outlying counties often use medical services in Lexington. Attorneys are available to meet with veterans who live in AppalReD's service region in Lexington on the VA campus on request.
Upcoming Clinics
- 11/17 1:00-3:00 P.M. Somerset, KY at the VA
- 12/17 1:00-3:00 P.M. Somerset, KY at the VA
