From the Helpline and LASP attorneys: Housing issues dominate. LASP is helping renters and homeowners in all 4 counties!

(Oct. 7, 2020) LASP's Helpline and attorneys report a significant increase in housing-related cases since Gov. Wolf's eviction and foreclosure moratoria expired Aug. 31. LASP is helping increased numbers of renters in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties who are facing eviction, illegal lockouts, and foreclosure. Please call our Helpline at 877-429-5994, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. about housing or other civil legal problems if you live in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, or Montgomery counties.

Pennsylvania's 2-1-1 call system also reports a significant increase in housing needs throughout the state. New research, published Sept. 18 by the Health Communication Research Laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis, shows that PA's housing needs have surged, including requests for help with rent assistance, shelters, low-cost housing and help dealing with landlord-tenant issues.
