GSU COL Pro Bono Program

The Housing Court Assistance Center is a walk-in advice clinic for Atlanta tenants whose landlords are taking them to court. Located in the Fulton County Courthouse, tenants can get immediate advice about the eviction process (which in Georgia is known as a dispossessory). With the help of an AVLF staff attorney, volunteer attorneys and law students/paralegals meet with tenants on-site to explain their rights under Georgia law. From limited advice on completing an Answer to pre-and post-litigation advice, HCAC provides tenants with the knowledge and resources they need to advocate for themselves throughout the eviction process. Shifts are 3 hours from 9:00 am-12:00 pm.
