HELPING GREGG REMAIN HOUSED
A few months ago, Gregg lost all of his documents and belongings after his building caught on fire. Soon after, Gregg's landlord refused to continue accepting Gregg's housing subsidy and then illegally increased his rent. Gregg then called MHAS for free legal assistance.
