Eviction and Foreclosure Housing Hotline

About this service

The St. Mary’s Consumer Protection Clinic operates a Housing Hotline for urgent landlord-tenant and foreclosure concerns. The broader Clinical Program accepts only a limited number of qualifying cases and screens income and assets.

Eligibility

People facing an eviction or foreclosure threat may call for information, advice, and referral. Any additional clinical representation depends on practice area, income and asset screening, legal deadlines, conflicts, and capacity.

What to bring

Have the eviction notice, citation, lease, payment record, foreclosure notice, court papers, and upcoming deadlines available. Share them only through the provider’s approved process.

Hours and access

Referral required

Hours and cutoff times are unknown. Call before visiting.

Call as soon as a notice or court paper arrives. State whether it is an eviction or foreclosure, the date received, the hearing or sale date, and the county. A hotline call does not automatically mean the clinic represents you.

Cost

The hotline is free. Representation is not guaranteed.

Before you contact them

What to confirm: Ask for the service location, arrival or appointment time, intake method, requirements, and the name of the next step.

What to save: Keep the date, contact method, confirmation, and next instruction. Do not save private document numbers in LifePath.

If nobody answers: Try one other official contact method, check current provider information, and use a backup option rather than making an unconfirmed trip.

Household, age, family, child, pet, couple, gender, and other program restrictions are unknown unless they are listed above. Confirm anything that matters to your situation.
