Legal Aid of North Carolina

Legal Aid of North Carolina provides a host of services to Hurricane Helene survivors including information about legal rights, answering questions regarding insurance policies, assisting with FEMA, appeals and recoupment of benefits, and providing housing support for homeowners and renters.

In an effort to make its website and self-help resources more accessible and more user-friendly for low-income North Carolinians, Legal Aid of North Carolina's Innovation Lab has developed an AI-powered virtual assistant in collaboration with LawDroid. The Legal Information Assistant (LIA) was recently launched.

The initiative connects communities, particularly disaster-stricken and rural areas, with the nonprofit's legal services.

Legal Aid of North Carolina has settled housing discrimination complaints against five apartment complexes in the Triad.
