"The guest I was able to assist had a lot of needs, and it was inspiring to see how much she accomplished in one day. She applied for Medicaid, assistance, got a flu shot, had an intake with legal aid, talked with housing agencies and checked in on where she was in application processes, and more. It was very successful day for them!"

Project Connect Provider
"I was able to assist a guest that had an eviction on her record, which was detrimental to getting an apartment for her and her child. Legal Aid Iowa was able to help her!"
