Keeping a Veteran Housed
John, a 69-year-old Vietnam veteran, spent years caring for his mother while managing his own health challenges. After his mother entered a nursing home, a family dispute over the home left John facing eviction from the place he had lived for years. Legal aid provided him with a pro bono attorney who represented John in the eviction and probate matters. The attorney secured an agreement that allowed him to remain in the home while he found alternative housing. The additional time and stability helped John make a successful transition and avoid the immediate loss of his home.
