Kuwona kwaumwini: Mgwirizano wazamalamulo ndi zamankhwala umapanga madera athanzi
Wolemba Dr. Amy Grube

Shelly adakumana ndi zovuta zambiri panthawi ya COVID-19: kuchotsedwa ntchito, kusamalira ana anayi yekha, kuyang'anira sukulu yakutali, ndikuwongolera zovuta zaumoyo za mwana wake Calvin - zomwe zimafunika kuyendera pafupipafupi kwa anzanga kusukulu kwathu ku MidTown, University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Ahuja Center for Women & Children.

Cal ndi wogontha ndipo ali ndi ADHD; nthawi zambiri amalankhula ndikukuwa mokweza mopanda tanthauzo, ndipo phokosolo limasokoneza aneba a Shelly. Nthawi yomweyo, Shelly adagwa m'mbuyo pa renti. Chifukwa cha nkhawa zambiri, oyang'anira nyumba adamutumizira chidziwitso kuti achoke.

Shelly anachita mantha. Zinthu zinkaoneka ngati sizili bwino.

Koma nkhaniyi ili ndi mapeto abwino.

Mapulogalamu awiri a Cleveland, opangidwa ndi zatsopano anali kusiyana pakati pa nyumba ndi kusowa pokhala kwa Shelly ndi ana ake: mgwirizano wachipatala ndi malamulo ozikidwa pa University Hospitals, kuphatikizapo Right to Counsel in Cleveland Housing Court - motsogoleredwa ndi Legal Aid ndi United Way.

Mabungwe azachipatala ndi zamalamulo amapititsa patsogolo chilungamo pakuphatikiza ukatswiri wapadera wa maloya m'malo azachipatala. Kafukufuku akuwonetsa kuti zochitika zamagulu ndi zachuma zimathandizira 80% ya zotsatira za thanzi la munthu. Chiyanjano choyamba chachipatala ndi chalamulo chinapangidwa ku Boston kumapeto kwa zaka za m'ma 1990, ndipo kuyambira pamenepo, chitsanzo chokhazikitsidwa ndi umboni chawonjezeka padziko lonse; tsopano pali mabungwe opitilira 450 azachipatala omwe ali ndi mgwirizano wokhazikika wazamalamulo m'maboma 49 ndi Washington, DC.

Chifukwa cha philanthropy yochokera ku kampani yazamalamulo ya Benesch, Zipatala za Yunivesite zidapanga mgwirizano wazamalamulo mu 2018, kuphatikiza loya Wothandizira zamalamulo ku gulu lathu ku UH Rainbow Ahuja Center for Women & Children. Legal Aid imathandizira odwala ndi mabanja omwe timawathandizira kukhala ndi moyo wathanzi komanso wopanda nkhawa. Nkhani ya Shelly ndi chitsanzo chabwino.

Koma, nthawi zambiri kulowererapo kopitilira kumodzi kumafunika kuti pakhale thanzi labwino la anthu ammudzi, ndichifukwa chake Ufulu Wopereka Uphungu ku Khothi Lanyumba la Cleveland ndi wofunikira kwambiri. Limapereka chida china muzolemba zathu zokhazikitsira nyumba. Zololedwa ndi mzinda wa Cleveland, motsogozedwa ndi United Way, kuthandizira kufalitsa ndi kuunika, ndi mautumiki azamalamulo operekedwa ndi Legal Aid, tsopano pali "ufulu" kwa loya ku Cleveland Housing Court kwa mabanja ena omwe amapeza ndalama zochepa. Mu 2021, Legal Aid inaletsa kuthamangitsidwa mu 93% ya ufulu wa uphungu wa nyumba ya Cleveland (kuti mumve lipoti lathunthu la kupambana kwa 2021, pitani ku freeevictionhelpresults.org). Imodzi mwa milandu imeneyo inali ya Shelly.

Shelly atatchula za kuthamangitsidwa komwe kungatheke paulendo wa mwana wake wamwamuna, mnzangayo adamutumiza ku ofesi ya Legal Aid yomwe ili mkati mwa UH Rainbow Ahuja Center for Women & Children. Othandizira zaumoyo ku UH amaphunzitsidwa kuzindikira pamene nkhani zalamulo zimapanga zolepheretsa thanzi kwa odwala athu. Timalumikizana ndi maloya a Legal Aid kudzera m'malo otumizira anthu, ndipo timagwira nawo ntchito kuti tipeze zisankho pazovuta zomwe odwala athu amakumana nazo. Mavuto a nyumba ndi ofala kwambiri, ndipo adakula panthawi ya mliri.

Atangotumiza, Legal Aid inazindikira kuti Shelly anali woyenerera kulandira ufulu wa Cleveland wopereka uphungu panyumba, ndipo loya wina wa Legal Aid anayamba kugwira ntchito pa mlandu wake. Woyimira milanduyo adamuthandiza Shelly kuti apereke zikalata zolondola zomwe zikuyenera kulembedwa ndi Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's eviction moratorium, ndipo adathandizira Shelly pakufunsira kovutirapo kwa ndalama zothandizira lendi. Woyimira milandu wa Legal Aid adalandira kalata kuchokera kwa dokotala wa UH wa mwana wake kuti athandizire kupempha thandizo la lendi. Ngakhale kuti kuimitsidwa kunali kutha pofika ndalamazo, mwininyumba wa Shelly analandira ndalamazo ndipo sanathamangitse kuthamangitsidwa ngakhale kuti panali phokoso. Chifukwa cha Legal Aid ndi UH kugwirira ntchito limodzi, Shelly adatha kusunga denga pabanja lake pomwe amafunafuna ntchito yatsopano.

Kusakhazikika kwa nyumba, monga kusowa kwa nyumba, kusamuka kangapo ndi kupsinjika kwa lendi, zakhala zikugwirizana ndi zotsatira za thanzi la olera ndi ana aang'ono. Mwachitsanzo, kuthamangitsidwa kumakhudzana ndi kuchuluka kwa kupsinjika maganizo, kugona m'chipatala cha ana ndi maulendo obwera mwadzidzidzi. Maboma okhala ndi ziwopsezo zambiri zothamangitsidwa ali ndi ziwopsezo zambiri zakufa mwangozi chifukwa chamankhwala osokoneza bongo ndi mowa. Nyumba ndi chisamaliro chaumoyo. Mgwirizano wa abwana anga pa zachipatala ndi zamalamulo ndi Legal Aid watsimikizira mobwerezabwereza kuti kuphatikiza kwa chithandizo chazamalamulo ndi chithandizo chamankhwala kungathe kukhazikitsira mabanja ndikupangitsa madera athu kukhala malo athanzi kuti ana ndi mabanja azitukuka.

Cleveland ali ndi mwayi wokhala ndi Legal Aid yolimba ndi United Way, ndi pulogalamu ya Ufulu wa Uphungu yomwe yasunga kale mazana a mabanja monga a Shelly omwe ali otetezeka kuyambira pamene adakhazikitsidwa chaka chimodzi ndi theka lapitalo. Ife ngati anthu ammudzi tiyenera kupitiriza kuthandiza ufulu wopereka uphungu pa nkhani za nyumba, popeza nyumba ndi ufulu waumunthu. Ndine wonyadira kukhala mumzinda womwe ukutsogola pankhani yolimbikitsa mgwirizano wamabungwe kuti ukhale ndi thanzi la anthu.
