Helping homeowners
Angeline Thomas ’11, the attorney coordinator for the law school’s Foreclosure Mediation Outreach Project, shows one of the fliers she and student volunteers distributed in Korean. Over the summer, 10 interns worked with the program. Through outreach and collaboration with legal service organizations, they hosted two events for distressed homeowners in Lakewood and Burien and assisted 22 homeowners facing foreclosure by allowing them to meet with a housing counselor or an attorney at no charge. They were just some of the students who spent the summer working in the public interest. Read the Summer Journals kept by Public Interest Law Foundation grant recipients.
