Process

The hotline is voicemail-based, which means that in order to connect with us, you will have to call them, leave a voicemail, and one of their hotline counselor volunteers will reach out to you with resources as soon as possible, either by phone or other electronic communication. Leave a voicemail, speaking as slowly and as clearly as you can, with your Name, Phone number, City and county that you live in, and Description of your issue, including a brief summary of any written documentation or notices that you have received (including dates received) from the landlord.
