HOW WE HELP

Everyone has the right to a safe and affordable place to live.

We help tenants and homeowners in danger of losing their homes due to eviction, mortgage and tax foreclosure, and tangled title. We can also connect you to additional community resources to help you to navigate housing challenges.

Program Spotlight: Criminal Record Expungement

We can help you with a new start by wiping the slate clean.

We help expunge your record of acquittals, dismissals, probation before judgment, nolle pros, stet, and nuisance offenses. If you were found guilty in a criminal case, you may still be eligible for expungement.
