OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) A “right to counsel” measure has been signed by Gov. Jay Inslee, making Washington the first state to ensure that low-income tenants have legal representation when faced with an eviction.
The Seattle Times reports that Inslee signed the bill Thursday, and the state’s Office of Civil Legal Aid now has 90 days to draft a plan to implement the law within a year.
The new law will provide attorneys to tenants who receive certain public assistance, have been involuntarily committed to a public mental health facility, can’t afford a lawyer or who have incomes at 125% or less of the federal poverty level.

In the latest evidence that the coronavirus pandemic has harmed peopleâs mental health, Boston College researchers say reports of anxiety and depression among Americans increased in 2020 to levels more than six times higher than the year before.
âThe COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted nearly all aspects of life, leading to rising mortality rates, increasing economic inequities, and gross disturbances in peopleâs daily lives and social interactions. Perhaps not surprisingly, these myriad stressors have led to rising rates of mental health disorder symptoms,â the researchers reported earlier this month in the journal Translational Behavioral Medicine.
