SWIFT Contract Number 267780

Project Name Legal Service Marketing- Kiosks

Project Number (if applicable) {Empty}

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: Funding to advertise legal kiosks in outstate Minnesota and to older individuals with limited English proficiency. The Aging Division has funded and supported legal service access points such as mobile Justice Busses, legal kiosks and the Legal Risk Detector for a number of years. Although we work with Older American Act legal service providers to establish the projects, little has been done to support marketing efforts. This project was to bring more attention to existing legal access points in outstate Minnesota and within vulnerable populations and LEP populations in order to see if direct marketing could build conversations and increase access to legal help without creating a new type of access point.
