Justice Served: Mother of Four Keeps Her Home.

SANDRA’s STORY

Sandra, a mother of four, was wrongly threatened with eviction from her Section 8 apartment, despite receiving parish rental assistance. The complex, known for targeting tenants, claimed she hadn’t paid rent – though she had proof otherwise. With help from an ALSC attorney and caseworker, Sandra gathered the evidence needed to fight back. The eviction was dismissed, and her family stayed in their home.

Online Resources

Acadiana Legal Service Corporation partners with many resources across Louisiana to provide you with the most current legal education available. We offer a wide range of topics to help you find the legal information you need. Browse our brochures and connect with our partners for more legal topics to help you understand if you have a civil legal issue and whether you want to pursue legal action as a self-represented litigant (SRL) or hire an attorney. All legal resources, including articles and court forms, available on our website can help you better understand and advocate for your rights. However, these resources should not replace legal advice from qualified attorneys licensed in Louisiana who are familiar with your specific legal issue. Always seek legal advice directly from a lawyer.
