Volunteer attorneys will help tenants determine if they qualify for protection under the CDC guidelines and help those who qualify complete and sign the required declaration on the spot. Additional volunteers will help tenants apply for rental assistance through two new state and local government programs. Tenants facing the possibility of eviction for nonpayment of rent will be able to access the free assistance at three sites in Harris County:Jim Fontana Annex | 14350 Wallisville Rd.
