Housing
Safe, stable housing is essential for economic, educational and family stability.
Some problems people experience related to housing can be prevented or helped with legal assistance. Legal Aid represents individuals and groups to:
- Save homes from foreclosure and eviction
- Help low-income tenants and homeowners prepare for, secure, and retain decent, affordable housing
- Preserve and increase the supply of decent, affordable housing for low-income tenants
- Enforce, preserve and expand the rights of low-income tenants and homeowners
Legal Aid, along with other advocates, also engages in policy advocacy in multiple forums, and it publishes the Ohio Eviction and Landlord-Tenant Law, a leading book on these subjects.
