What if I’m not eligible, but I still need legal help for my housing?
We prioritize helping renters at risk of eviction. But we sometimes help renters with other legal problems when we can. Even if we can’t help you, we may be able to refer you to another resource that can. Call or email us to see if we can help or refer you.
