Supported by community partners and 165 pro bono volunteers, LCBH hosted 15 community-based clinics over the course of nine months to help tenants seal old eviction filing records.
In an initiative undertaken in response to pandemic-era legislation that temporarily allowed sealing of eligible records, LCBH staff and volunteers assisted renters in their efforts to seal 1,058 records. With the lapse of this temporary legislation in August 2022, LCBH is joining allies to advocate for permanent legislation once again making it easier to seal eviction filing records.
