A free Housing and Education legal clinic will be offered at the Downtown Norfolk office, providing same day guidance from an attorney for those who qualify. Support for housing issues can include evictions, unsafe conditions, Section 8 voucher concerns such as incorrect rent calculations, denials of housing, disability-related accommodation requests, and matters connected to domestic violence. Education assistance covers IEP and 504 plans, truancy, and MDR or other disciplinary proceedings. A limited number of phone appointments is available for individuals who cannot attend in person, and these are first come, first served. Only housing and education matters will be handled during the clinic, with other issues directed to regular intake hours. During clinic hours, an intake representative can be reached at 757-827-5078. The clinic offers legal advice only and does not help locate housing, place individuals in affordable housing, or provide rent money. No pre-registration is needed, as eligibility screening takes place on site. LASEV serves low-income Virginians in civil matters only, and eligibility is required to speak with an attorney.
