Constance Chandler and her five children would be living out of motel rooms if it weren’t for Bay Area Legal Aid attorney David Levin.
Levin has spent the past six years working at Bay Area Legal Aid, an Oakland, Calif.-based nonprofit helping the San Francisco Bay Area’s poorest residents with housing, health care, domestic violence and public benefits. In February, he visited Contra Costa County Superior Court in Pittsburg, Calif., and negotiated with Chandler’s landlord to help her family stay in their rented home.
