ANNUAL REPORT 3 PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS

The phrase “Home Sweet Home” took on new significance in 2020 as the pandemic took hold, and everyone was encouraged to shelter in place. But for Tiffany, her temporary home was more of a prison than a refuge.

After the mobile home she rented was condemned in late 2019, an acquaintance offered her a room to rent at his house. With only 10 days to find a new place, she accepted. Affordable, decent places to live are few and far between, especially when you are working part-time and living with ovarian cancer.

It wasn’t long before Tiffany realized that her new landlord wanted more from her than just rent money. “He would ask me over and over again when was I going to share his bed,” Tiffany says. Afraid to leave during the pandemic, and with nowhere else to go, Tiffany endured constant harassment for almost seven months. One night she woke to find him touching her. She called Pisgah Legal Services. PISGAH LEGAL CASES INVOLVING LANDLORDS AND After consulting with PLS Attorney Casey Steen, Tiffany was referred to PLS Social Worker TENANTS MORE THAN Sandy Devoid to help her find safe housing. A local church generously paid for temporary DOUBLED (JULY – DEC): housing while Sandy sought long-term housing, food resources, even furniture for Tiffany’s new FROM 338 CASES OPENED place. Unfortunately, Tiffany still needed Pisgah Legal. Her former landlord tracked her to her IN 2019 TO 772 IN 2020. new home and began throwing trash on her lawn and threatening her. Casey filed for a protective order with Tiffany. It was granted, and the man was jailed soon after for violating the order. Since then, things have been quieter, and Tiffany is finally enjoying her new home. She says, “I’ve never had anyone in my life like Sandy. She doesn’t judge me. She lifts me up. And Pisgah Legal isn’t just a lawyer’s office. They help in a lot of ways that people don’t even think about.”

He says, “When you choose to care for an individual with a devastating illness in your family, you are financially While the pandemic hasn’t been easy for anyone, the COVID economy has been doomed. When your credit is ruined, there aren’t any other options.” especially devastating for women. An estimated 2.4 million women in this country have left the workforce since February 2020.

6 ANNUAL REPORT If ever there was a time when health care was needed, it surely was in 2020. Many of our neighbors lost health insurance when they lost jobs and employer-provided health insurance during the pandemic.

The Dogwood Health Trust funded two special advertising campaigns to reach people across WNC, especially underserved communities, encouraging folks to reach out to Pisgah Legal, and our enrollment partners in WNC, for free assistance obtaining health insurance.

Staff and volunteers worked to adapt to serving consumers with COVID-19 safety concerns in mind. Helping consumers navigate the health insurance enrollment process by phone, rather than in person was challenging, but our certified application counselors made it work.

Our team persevered with outstanding results: helping 1,426 local people during regular Open Enrollment and 2,398 people overall in 2020.

The consumers we assisted received an average of $773/ month* in advanced premium tax credits to pay for their health insurance, resulting in more than $8 million in yearly savings for people in our mountain region.

“About a year into the marriage he first put his hands on me. I’ll never forget it. I was four months pregnant at the time. But I made a promise to him, and to God, that I was going to stay with him until death do us part. So many nights I laid in bed, afraid to close my eyes. I can’t explain the toll that takes on a person’s life.”

“Over the years I left repeatedly, but he knew how to manipulate the system. He told me, ‘I’m going to take you down, one way or another.’ He owned guns, and I took that very seriously.”

“He started hiding the keys and the batteries to the cars so I couldn’t leave. One night, after he fell asleep, I was able to get one of the keys.” Weeks later, he unexpectedly left the house. Amy saw her chance to escape, for good this time. IN 2020, PISGAH LEGAL “I had less than 10 minutes before he would get back home.

For the past two to obtain a protective order for a client. years he drove for Uber, but when COVID-19 hit, demand for rides plummeted, and driving put his health, and the health of his loved ones, at risk.

In late March, the CARES Act extended benefits to independent contractors and the self- employed. Ronald filed for unemployment insurance benefits and months passed with no word.

Ronald called the unemployment office daily, spending hours on hold. He sent emails, and even contacted Governor Cooper and Senator Van Duyn, who advocated on his behalf to no avail.

Finally, in July, he got an email denying his application. He filed the appeal himself hoping to get a hearing date quickly. Soon after, he contacted Pisgah Legal Services and was matched with PLS Attorney Thomas Lodwick.

Meanwhile, Ronald still wasn’t receiving unemployment benefits, he didn’t have a hearing date for his appeal, and he was running out of money. “For the first time in 80 years, I had to go to a food pantry,” he says, getting choked up.

Finally, eight months after he first applied for unemployment insurance Ronald was PISGAH LEGAL’S STAFF granted a hearing for his claim. “I was totally relieved having Thomas on the AND VOLUNTEER ATTORNEYS call with me.

In 2020, the Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration could not end protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, better known as “DACA.” Later a federal judge ruled that US Citizenship and Immigration Services must fully reinstate the program. These were life-changing rulings for Araceli (left) and hundreds of thousands of other “Dreamers” like her.

Araceli’s family immigrated to the United States when she was an infant. Western North Carolina is the only home she has ever known.

After graduating high school, Araceli applied for and received DACA status. She knew that her dreams of working in the medical field depended on it. Araceli completed a medical assistance program at a local community college, and a few months later she began working at a nearby hospital, assisting patients who suffer from painful and crippling arthritis.

When it was time to renew her DACA status, her mother suggested she reach out to Pisgah Legal Services. “I met Noele Aabye, and she has been really wonderful and understanding. She helped me re-apply and everything went smoothly.”

A year after Araceli began working at the hospital, COVID-19 hit. “It was tough at the beginning – “I WAS STILL LEARNING wearing face shields and goggles, staying six feet apart from our co-workers all the time – but now it HOW TO DO MY JOB WHEN has become more routine,” says Araceli. “A lot of our patients are elderly and immunocompromised THE PANDEMIC HIT.

22 ANNUAL REPORT When protests began in downtown Asheville, artists made 2020 JUSTICE FORUM canvases of boarded up windows.

Not even a pandemic could stop Pisgah Legal’s 10th Annual Justice Forum. On Oct. 1, 2020 the event was held online for the first time. More than 500 guests Zoomed in to hear poet Clint Smith give an inspiring and powerful address that resonated even in the virtual space.

After months of protests and social unrest around the nation – and right here in WNC – Smith moved us to act and advocate to create a more equitable and just world. Guests were also treated to an outstanding performance by local singer Kat Williams. Special thanks to the many sponsors, attendees, staff and volunteers who made this virtual event a success.

“I WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE MY SON WILL NOT BE PRESUMED GUILTY THE MOMENT HE IS BORN, WHERE A TOY IN HIS HAND ISN’T MISTAKEN FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A TOY.” – CLINT SMITH
