Following LA County's approval last summer of the right for tenants facing eviction to get free legal representation, the LA City Council has also now passed a Right to Counsel law. The Council approved the law April 1, by a vote of 14-0. As members of the Right to Counsel coalition, ACCE leaders spent many months giving public testimony at City Council meetings to show support for this important right. In addition to LA County, LA City now joins New York, San Francisco and Philadelphia in establishing this pivotal law to help tenants stay in their homes.
