HARRIS COUNTY – As the cost of living continues to rise, many families across Houston are struggling to keep up, and for some, the risk of eviction is becoming a reality.
That’s why Lesley Briones, in partnership with Judge Steve Duble, is hosting a free Housing Resource Clinic on Wednesday aimed at helping residents stay in their homes.
County leaders say the need is urgent. More than 6,000 eviction filings are reported each month in Harris County, putting pressure on both families and the court system.
The clinic will provide residents with critical information on housing stability, including eviction prevention, tenant rights, and access to legal resources.
Representatives from several organizations will be on-site to answer questions and offer guidance, including the Texas Legal Services Center, Lone Star Legal Aid, and the Harris County Attorney’s Office.
Officials say the goal is to connect residents with trusted resources and empower them to navigate housing challenges before they escalate.
What to know:
- When: Wednesday, April 15 at 10 a.m.
- Where: Freed Community Center 6818 Shadyvilla Lane
- Registration: Online at cp4.harriscountytx.gov
Residents attending can expect to speak directly with legal experts, receive housing resource materials, and learn more about their rights as tenants.
Commissioner Briones says providing access to this kind of information is key to helping families remain stable during financially challenging times.
