Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands has received a $125,000 grant from the Legal Services Corporation to assist victims affected by the March 2020 tornadoes in Middle Tennessee. The LSC Disaster Relief Emergency Grant will provide funding for direct legal services, educational outreach and free legal clinics to low-income disaster victims in Davidson, Putnam and Wilson counties. LAS will be eligible for a second grant of an equal amount next year. The group also announced it will hold virtual legal clinic for disaster victims in each of three counties in the spring of 2021. To help meet the goals of the grant, Legal Aid has hired Bridget Stewart as a full-time disaster relief attorney.
