LETTER: The Jersey City Council must adopt Right to Counsel (RTC)

From longtime Greenville resident Hakim Hasan: RTC has the potential to protect vulnerable residents from housing injustices and provide them with the legal support they desperately need.

“For far too long, the landscape of Jersey City has been shaped by mega-landlords, developers, and real estate investors, resulting in an increasingly unaffordable city for its residents. Sadly, it is the poor and working-class individuals throughout our city who bear the brunt of exploitation by unscrupulous landlords. It is imperative that the Right-to-Counsel ordinance provides the necessary legal representation and advice to vulnerable families facing illegal evictions and habitability issues in their homes.

Supporting the Right-to-Counsel ordinance is an easy decision for me.”
