NJP Reopens Housing Justice Project

The Northwest Justice Project announces the reopening of the Housing Justice Project (HJP) on October 2, 2000. HJP is a pro bono program developed to prevent low-income people facing eviction from becoming homeless. HJP volunteer attorneys provide limited representation for clients at eviction show-cause hearings.

HJP has several dedicated volunteers who have agreed to commit up to one morning a month at the courthouse to represent pro se tenants, but more assistance is needed. HJP provides training and materials for volunteers. To volunteer or for more information, contact Kate Hoskinson at the Northwest Justice Project at 206-324-9128.
