Mission Statement
Arlington Free Clinic provides free, high-quality health care to low-income, uninsured Arlington County adults through the generosity of donors and volunteers.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Arlington Free Clinic website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.
Federal Poverty Guidelines for 2021
| Persons In Family Household |
Poverty Guideline Salary per year |
| 1 | $12,760 |
| 2 | $17,240 |
| 3 | $21,720 |
| 4 | $26,200 |
| 5 | $30,680 |

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale.
When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
