Pro bono task force fighting for tenants
Even before COVID-19 hit, housing prices in Charlotte had been on the rise for years and wages, particularly those of low-income individuals, had failed to keep pace. The economic fallout caused by the pandemic has only made the situation more dire for many families.
Managing the thousands of eviction petitions signed in Mecklenburg County every year is thus quite a challenge for Legal Aid of North Carolina-Charlotte and the Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy. So in response, Charlotte Triage Task Force, a collaborative pro bono effort spearheaded by McGuireWoods in 2018, has stepped up to assist in providing legal representation to people who have been evicted.
