Shortly afterwards, Attorney General Merrick Garland penned a letter and released a video urging the legal profession to volunteer to assist affected tenants. NLADA is working closely with national partners to help ensure that this important resource be utilized most effectively and wants your input.

AmeriCorps VISTA Helps Strengthen Community Trust

Shantih and Cara revamped the website with several pertinent resources. Now, clients can easily find the information they need and advocates can learn about valuable work of PDSC's office culture. The increased visibility online is building up holistic defense for West Virginians. Click here to learn more about the AmeriCorps VISTA program!
