Description
Hey podcast listeners. This is Stefanie Knowlton, editor of the Understanding Homelessness podcast, with an update from last week’s two-part episode. The conversation with Don’t Evict PDX was recorded in early summer, and there have been some additional tenant supports that have come online since then. Oregon Law Center launched the Eviction Defense Project, which now offers legal support to all low-income tenants in Oregon facing a court eviction. Support includes a legal review of your case, legal advice, and in many cases some level of representation. It should only take one to two days to hear back from OLC. You can reach them at (888)-585-9638 or [email protected]. Please share this information with anyone who needs it. Despite these supports, Oregon still does not have a legal right to counsel in eviction cases. This is something that Don’t Evict PDX is prioritizing for the future. Thank you for listening.
