Plain Help

Real help with rights, benefits, legal aid, and community resources.

Describe a problem with housing, benefits, legal help, healthcare access, immigration, reentry, or advocacy, and I'll help you find free resources, understand your rights, and figure out a path forward. Free, no account, nothing saved.

Important: what this tool is and isn't

What this tool is NOT for
  • Not a mental health tool. For crisis or mental health support, 988 (call or text) is free, 24/7. For ongoing support, community mental health centers offer free or sliding-scale care — find one at findtreatment.samhsa.gov.
  • Not medical advice. For care, community health centers serve anyone regardless of insurance or immigration status — findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov. Emergency? Call 911.
  • Not a lawyer. For specific legal cases, free legal aid is at lawhelp.org.
It's an AI. It can be wrong.This tool uses AI to help you find information and resources. AI can be wrong. For anything with real stakes — a court deadline, a benefits application, a legal right — verify with a human professional before you act on it. I'll point you to the right people for each situation.
PrivacyNo accounts. Nothing saved. No tracking. This conversation is ephemeral by design — anonymous so it's safe to use even in dangerous situations.
