Hometown Support is a program that makes free legal help available to service members and their families with limited income who are facing legal problems in Tennessee.
The program is coordinated by legal services offices across the state. The designated staff person in the office serving the area where the applicant resides or where the problem arises will talk with the applicant to determine her or his financial eligibility and the nature of the legal problem.
The applicant’s family income must be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level to be considered for free help.
