The Poor One Cries Out:

Protecting Indigent Tenants in a Time of COVID webinar

As many people struggle to pay rent after losing their jobs due to COVID-19, how can legal aid attorneys help protect tenants from eviction? Do the current protections and financial assistance go far enough, and if not, what can we as Christian lawyers do to help?  This webinar covers an overview of eviction issues with a focus on the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) September 4, 2020 national moratorium on evictions for qualified tenants.
