Home Ownership/Real Property

If you own your home, it is likely your most important asset. Too often, homeowners pass away, but the deed is never updated. Family members living there may be denied access to important resources, including tax relief and repair grants. Outstanding taxes and liens can prevent properties from being titled to the rightful owner and put the home at risk of loss due to tax or mortgage foreclosure. Our volunteer attorneys can help prevent and address these challenges through planning and legal assistance. 

Foreclosures

We help families who are facing foreclosure stay in their homes as homeowners. We can help you understand your rights and options by assisting with loan modification, mediation and negotiations, foreclosure defense and post-foreclosure cases, homeowner and tenant eviction proceedings, and other legal actions that may provide relief from foreclosure. Learn more about foreclosures and how we can help by reading the following fact sheet. 

Other Housing

We can help clients who are facing homelessness by linking them with programs, resources, and possibly providing legal assistance that might remedy their legal issues and prevent homelessness. We believe everyone has a right to a safe and affordable place to live.
