Recently Lexington expanded its housing stabilization program which would help tenants with mediation with landlords and legal counsel, something Legal Aid of the Bluegrass says is crucial when moving forward.
The funds behind it may be one-time federal dollars, but Lexington’s Housing Stabilization program is expanding services for tenants facing eviction to include mediation with landlords and access to legal counsel.
Tuesday afternoon, Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton announced that the city is giving $1.9 million from federal funds to assist tenants facing eviction with access to legal counsel.
