Nonprofits receive funds left from homeowner lock-out settlement

We so blessed and grateful to Clay Gatens of Gatens Green Weidenbach PLLC, for his dedication to seeking justice for homeowners wrongly locked out of their homes during foreclosure. This is the work of super heroes and Clay is certainly a super hero in our book!

When Clay shared the news of this AMAZING donation and why he chose to include CDCVAS as a recipient of the unclaimed funds, he told us that the first call he received over 10 years ago from a woman locked out of her home, could have easily been a CDCVAS client. He knows how important access to justice is, especially for families who are struggling financially.

As shared on a KOHO 101.1 radio interview, we shared that this incredible gift is nothing short of a miracle in these unprecedented times. At present, the Board of Directors of CDCVAS is discussing how to ensure that these funds preserve the long-term capacity of our program provide free, civil legal aid to the thousands of families that will need help through this pandemic and in the years that follow.

We are beyond grateful to Clay and to the entire legal community for their zealous pursuit of justice and endless generosity!
