Hullooooo,
Class today was fun. Talking about Environmental Policy is probably what interests me most, so I was enjoying the conversation at Stonehurst. Plus, the tour was wicked awesome (did I say that right..?)
The TAC was fun tonight! Well, about as fun as housing stuff can be. Adolfo came back in for help with his eviction case, and I am confident that he will be able to go to court and come out on top. However, another client, Bob, may not be so lucky. Its hard to try to work with people to come up with solutions to really difficult questions.. like how to try to remedy an eviction case due to lack of payment when the tenant has no job and has been down on his or her luck. Its heartbreaking, truly. But I think we helped Bob.. maybe we didn't help him solve his problem, but I think it was good for him to know that a lot of other people were in his position. Hes not alone.
Tyler and I did see one pretty manageable case though. A couple with a Section 8 voucher was having trouble finding a place, so we searched Craigslist with the couple, found a ton of possible places, and talked with the couple about phoning potential places. We're all still trying to figure out how there could be a stigma against Section 8 voucher holders.. its definitely a mystery to me.
I'm looking forward to working with the Wayside youth tomorrow! :) And again, go Celtics.
