SUMMARY:Flood Recovery: Legal Assistance for Small Businesses
DESCRIPTION:See below for more information about the Post-Flood Legal Clinic’s Story. \n\nIndividuals can come prepared to the clinic with the following items: \n\nPictures of before and after the flood if accessible\nReceipts of repairs\, replacement items and lodging if displaced from flooding\nInsurance information\, including a reply or settlement from insurance after claim was submitted\nHousehold income information\nAny documents sent to or received from FEMA or the SBA\nLog-in information for FEMA Disaster Relief account (if you have one)\nAny additional notes about damages\, losses and impacts from flooding\n\n\nPost-Flood Legal Clinics to Continue Monthly \nProgram Extended to Meet Demand\, Need for Vermonters  \n  \nSOUTH ROYALTON\, Vermont (Dec. 1\, 2023) – Since October\, Vermont Law and Graduate School’s Entrepreneurial Legal Lab and Legal Services Vermont have been working in collaboration to assist Vermont business owners affected by the summer 2023 floods. This effort began in September with several clinics hosted by VLGS’ Entrepreneurial Legal Lab and the Environmental Justice Clinic.  In October\, Legal Services Vermont’ flood disaster legal assistance team joined the efforts.  Between the two organizations\, they have hosted six clinics to date in areas severely impacted by the floods including Barre\, Hardwick\, Ludlow\, and South Royalton \n  \nAs a result of high demand and ongoing community needs\, they will continue to offer monthly clinics to assist Vermonters. \n  \n“We started these clinics as a way to immediately help Vermont business owners who were impacted by the floods\,” Nicole Killoran\, director of the Entrepreneurial Legal Laboratory at Vermont Law and Graduate School\, said. “Through our collective efforts\, we have been able to help nearly 30 Vermonters who are trying to navigate the landscape after the floods. These clinics have become powerful touchpoints for those in the community who are struggling after the floods\, and we’re looking forward to continuing the work we’ve started.” \n  \nThe first round of clinics focused on Vermonters’ needs during the initial recovery period including assisting with answering questions regarding FEMA and/or Small Business Association applications\, unemployment insurance and Disaster Unemployment Assistance. The next phase of the clinics will focus on long-term relief efforts including FEMA appeals\, requests for reasonable accommodations for late FEMA and SBA applications due to disability\, landlord-tenant assistance\, and other ongoing legal challenges of flood recovery.. \n  \n  \n
