Application process
Call or apply online. Online intake only works on desktop computers. Complete an online application for cases involving government benefits or loss of housing other than foreclosure (most problems in these categories). CLEAR will review your application and if client appears to be eligible for services, CLEAR will offer to call the client back during CLEAR business hours. Clients with other legal issues can still use the online application to begin the intake process, but will have to call the CLEAR Hotline themselves to finish the process. Filling out the application online will speed up the intake process for the client.
Fee
None.
Eligibility
Clients over age 60 and victims of a crime may be eligible for additional assistance regardless of income or assets.
