The Veterans Consortium is seeking experienced housing and eviction attorneys in DC, VA and MD to volunteer their time and expertise for a free Housing and Eviction Legal Clinic on October 29, 2021.
With the federal eviction moratorium officially over, many of our veterans, their families and loved ones may be in need of our help. This change disproportionately affects low income communities and communities of color who now face housing insecurity and homelessness.
With over $46.5 billion designated by Congress as Emergency Rental Assistance, we are confident we can provide free legal services to veterans seeking immediate aid.
Please help us support our nation's veterans. For more info on how to get involved, please contact us at clinics@vetsprobono.org

 One more photo from the National VA Summer Sports Clinic: Secretary Owings ran into a friend, Dr. Mark Chapin, LCSW-C. Dr. Chapin retired from the Army, then worked as a civilian social worker at Walter Reed, became the Team Leader at the Annapolis Vet Center and is now in private practice. Dr. Chapin was volunteering with CRAB to help veterans participating in the sailing clinic. Thank you for your long career of service, Sir!
