Housing Families to offer pro bono legal services office hours in Revere each month
March 7, 2017
Housing Families, a local nonprofit offering housing information and legal assistance, will be hosting monthly Office Hours at Revere City Hall starting next week, as part of a continuing initiative by the office of Mayor Brian Arrigo to connect residents in need with services that may be helpful to them.
Members of Housing Families’ Pro Bono Legal Services team will meet with residents by appointment on the second Tuesday of each month, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, in City Hall’s second floor conference room. The first office hours will be held next Tuesday, March 14, 2017.
To ensure residents in need can be served appropriately, please call Joe Gravellese in the Mayor's Office at 781-286-8111, or email jgravellese@revere.org, to schedule an appointment.
The Pro Bono team provides legal advice, information, advocacy, referral, and representation to low income residents seeking assistance with civil law problems related to housing, family law, immigration, consumer law, and other matters. The majority of this work is for landlord/tenant issues.
The Pro Bono staff is knowledgeable about local services, which allows them to combine legal work with other existing opportunities for clients.
