	One issue I’m running into locally is that due to the eviction tsunami, the legal aid groups that assist tenants don’t have capacity to assist with anything but an eviction that has been filed with the court. No help with reasonable accommodations, no help fighting unjust lease violations to prevent a case from going to eviction (and there’s a small time window to contest a lease violation).

We represent at Voucher Termination hearings and with advices and assistance on any notices HCV participants get.

	How? I can’t find any who cover that area of law
18:54:54 From Laura Ramos to Everyone:
	In my experience the Fair Housing Officials who are supposed to help you can cause more and more trouble while you are being force to prove over and over that the discrimination is happening. In addition the Fair Housing Officials have attorneys, the landlord or housing authority or state have attorneys, but the people with disabilities do not have attorneys. It's vicious how our rights are taken away through negligence, through malice, through incompetence, through failure to provide materials and communications in formats you can use - like sign language or large print or braille, etc.

	ARC can’t help because I’m not in the DD agency. NAMI can’t help because I’m not interested in a medication contract. Don’t know what LSS is. I am an atheist so I don’t qualify for church assistance.
