“Even though the law recognizes withholding rent as a valid way to incentivize a landlord to make repairs, it does not prevent a landlord from filing an eviction for unpaid rent,” said Sherry Thomas, Director of the LCD Housing and Habitability Initiative, during her testimony in support of renter's rights on Tuesday, March 18. Thomas and other Philadelphia housing advocates were quoted in a WHYY article on the advocate-led campaign to create a proactive rental inspection program across the city.

关于我们
The Legal Clinic for the Disabled (LCD) provides free legal services to low-income people with disabilities and to the deaf and hard of hearing in Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties. Since 1987, LCD, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with offices at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, has helped thousands of Pennsylvanians with disabilities. At LCD, we provide a variety of legal services. As part of our work, we assist victims of domestic violence with getting legal protection from their abusers. We represent victims of identity theft and consumer fraud. We help parents and caregivers access healthcare for their children. We write wills, powers of attorney and living wills. Most of the clients we serve experience physical limitations in their daily activities, and many have suffered catastrophic injuries or illnesses like stroke, spinal cord or brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cancer, advanced diabetes, glaucoma, AIDS, amputation or epilepsy. Our services help them overcome legal barriers that impact their ability to live safely and independently in their communities.

Last Friday, LCD hosted a birth certificate clinic for people experiencing homelessness with at Hub of Hope, one of our Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) sites with Project HOME. During this clinic, we helped over ten people apply to get a copy of their birth certificate so that they can have the necessary documentation for establishing identity, receiving legal protection, and accessing social benefits. We plan on helping even more people during future clinics at this site! Interested in our MLP program?
