“Jeffrey Yungman, an attorney based in Charleston, South Carolina, is used to clients experiencing homelessness dropping into his office unannounced. Yungman\u2019s legal office is based in a homeless shelter that offers social services, called One80 Place<\/a>. His work is exclusively dedicated to handling civil legal issues of the shelter\u2019s residents.<\/p>\r\n One80 Place is one of the few shelters across the country that offers on-site legal services. Yungman and a full-time paralegal are at the shelter five days a week. They host a drop-in legal clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays where any resident of the shelter can come see them about problems they\u2019re having. Another attorney handles veteran\u2019s services, although they are not based at the shelter.<\/p>\r\n \u201cWe have unlimited access to a lot of our clients,\u201d Yungman says.<\/p>\r\n The location is helpful for people experiencing homelessness, who may not always have a cell phone or be easy to contact. \u201cIf we can\u2019t find someone because they don\u2019t have a phone and they live on the street they can pop in anytime,\u201d says LeaAnn Adkins, a paralegal with One 80Place. \u201cThey don\u2019t need to be dressed up because it\u2019s a fancy law office downtown.\u201d<\/p>\r\n[…]\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
