St. Maryโs University School of Law launches hotline to help those experiencing housing issues amid pandemic
SAN ANTONIO โ The St. Maryโs University School of Law has launched a hotline for South Texas residents who are experiencing housing issues due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. โItโs really uncharted territory for people and something where they do need legal assistance," Fajardo said. โPeople arenโt even aware that thereโs rental assistance available in both the city of San Antonio and in Bexar County to help them get caught back up on their rent. โMaybe one-third to a half of San Antonio properties are still under the moratorium, where they cannot be removed or evicted from their property," she said. The university said legal representatives will be able to share resource information about payment assistance and forms renters can fill out to represent themselves during eviction proceedings.
