HOUSTON – As Harris County recovers from the COVID job recession and the recent winter storms, local officials and community leaders have come together to hold an event Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. providing renters at risk of eviction with information about their rights under the CDC order preventing evictions for nonpayment of rent.
Volunteer attorneys will help tenants determine if they qualify for protection under the CDC guidelines and help those who qualify complete and sign the required declaration on the spot. Additional volunteers will help tenants apply for rental assistance through two new state and local government programs.
