Commentary: Philly tenants should have access to legal aid
“In September, the New York City Council held a public hearing featuring more than 80 witnesses, including the former chief judge of its highest court, borough presidents, and the New York City Bar Association. They testified in support of a municipal law that would provide legal counsel for low-income tenants who are facing eviction, ejectment, or foreclosure proceedings. Witnesses testified to the damage done to families who lose their homes, the significant cost to the city of housing, educating, and supporting families who end up homeless, and the powerful difference that legal representation makes in these proceedings.”
