Stay Housed L.A. County Launched To Provide Free Legal Services To Tenants Facing Eviction

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors today launched Stay Housed L.A. County, a countywide initiative to provide legal assistance and support for tenants facing eviction amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The launch included the release of StayHousedLA.org, a website connecting tenants with useful information about their rights, workshops for residents who need legal assistance, and other support. Stay Housed L.A. County is a partnership between the County of Los Angeles, legal aid groups and community-based organizations to provide emergency support to tenants in need.

Virtual Know Your Rights workshops will also be offered by participating community organizations to provide L.A. County residents with critical information about permanent and emergency tenant protections that can help tenants facing eviction or other challenges related to their rental housing. Community organizations will provide targeted ongoing support to help tenants with case management support.

When tenants have legal representation, a family’s chance of avoiding homelessness due to eviction increases by over 70 percent.View a short video about Stay Housed L.A. County at https://vimeo.com/stay-housed-la.
