Advocacy Clinic

It was a fairly uneventful night for Fiona and I at the clinic. Really all we did was help two men, Jose and his nephew, Miguel fill out paperwork to apply for low income housing in Watertown. Neither of them spoke very much English, but we did manage to get through the extensive application. Just in case they did not receive this housing, Fiona did a quick search on Craigslist and located several apartments in the area that fit into their price range. Both men work in Waltham but live in Bellingham and neither owns a car, meaning that it can literally take hours for them to ride the train to work. They were both very nice people, and I sincerely hope that if the Watertown housing does not work for them, another apartment that we found in the area will.
