Give a gift by December 8th and it will be matched (up to $50,000) by a group of generous supporters.

EN LAS NOTICIAS
Legal Aid encargó a la Universidad Case Western Reserve (CWRU) una importante iniciativa de investigación, que subraya las realidades de la actual crisis de vivienda de Cleveland que hace que sea casi imposible para las familias encontrar viviendas de alquiler asequibles y de buena calidad en el condado de Cuyahoga.
Investigadores del Centro sobre Pobreza y Desarrollo Comunitario de CWRU examinaron las intersecciones de raza, precios de alquiler, malas condiciones de vivienda y la prevalencia del plomo entre las unidades de alquiler en todo el condado de Cuyahoga. Sus hallazgos se han recopilado en el informe. Disparidades raciales en viviendas seguras.
El informe demuestra cómo “la discriminación racial continúa afectando la estabilidad de la vivienda y el acceso a viviendas de buena calidad”. Los vecindarios donde las viviendas de alquiler son asequibles y la mayoría de los residentes son personas de color cargan con la carga de un parque de viviendas deteriorado y plagado de riesgos de plomo desproporcionadamente altos.

ESQUINA DE IMPACTO
Janice (names changed to protect privacy) was heartbroken when her husband, Samuel, fell ill. To ensure he received the care he needed, Janice had to place Samuel in a nursing home temporarily. In the meantime, Janice and her two sons struggled to make ends meet. She went back to work part time to help her sons with the household finances.
Janice grew frustrated – it seemed nothing was enough to keep things afloat and she fell three months behind in her rent. Janice applied for rent assistance from a local agency, but never received a response. She also looked into other agencies that could help with the rent but had no luck. Eventually, she received an eviction notice from her landlord.
Janice refused to allow her and her family to be displaced. Janice contacted Legal Aid for help. Her Legal Aid attorney contacted one of the rent assistance agencies where Janice had applied for help and learned that her application did not go through because her husband’s name was misspelled. Her attorney stayed in contact with the agency to get the application corrected and approved.
Finally, her application was approved for $6,346.50 which covered the back rent that was owed and three months future rent. Her landlord dismissed the case against her. Thanks to her Legal Aid attorney, Janice could focus more on her husband without having to worry about finding another place to live.
