IELLA and the Tenants in Foreclosure Project
In this new feature, LAAC will showcase a project from one our members every month. If you're interested in sharing a project, please contact Patrick at [email protected].
Inland Empire Latino Lawyers Association (IELLA) was recently selected as one of the recipients of the Community Action Grant to assist tenants in foreclosure.
Reina Canale, the Executive Director of IELLA, shares the inspirational story about a client who was served with an unlawful detainer after faithfully paying his rent. This client is just one example of how tenants can fall victims to foreclosure and how organizations like IELLA step up to help them keep their homes.
