Housemate or roommate problems

2-1-1: A phone number that can be dialed in any county in the United States that will direct individuals towards various social service and community resources to assist with things like food resources, utility assistance, connection to shelters and/or safe parking programs, housing eviction prevention, etc.

Many counties also have online databases, which allow you to search your county's local resources. You can locate your local 2-1-1 here.

We help people (first-come, first-served) prepare an answer to an Unlawful Detainer (Eviction) lawsuit against them.

NOTE: Come in right away, as you may only have 5 days to file your answer, from the time you were served with the lawsuit papers. We do not handle legal representation at this clinic, but, if you qualify, you can get a free lawyer.
