DETROIT RIGHT TO COUNSEL COALITION

Housing is a human right. We fight for the right to free legal representation when facing eviction.

We are Detroiters and advocates who believe housing is a human right, working together to establish and support a right to legal counsel for people facing eviction in Detroit. A right to counsel for low-income tenants can play a major role in preventing evictions and housing displacement.

Free Legal Help is Here!

It’s your right to free legal support! We are here for Detroiters facing eviction! If you're facing eviction, talk to a free legal services lawyer about your case before you agree to anything.
