The Housing Law Practice at North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic (NSLAC) works with clients to help them regain stability in their lives in the face of housing insecurity. We know that a lack of secure housing can pose a severe threat to the well-being of renters and their families.

LCBH attorneys provide eviction defense along with pre-eviction assistance, intervening when a renter's housing stability or safety is threatened by illegal lockouts, utility shutoffs, discrimination, retaliation, or other issues. They also help renters facing issues due to living in a foreclosed building, dealing with condition issues, or seeking to unionize. LCBH social workers work with clients to meet needs related to financial and longer-term housing stability.
