<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Section Members, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am posting the following message on behalf of KCBA’s Volunteer Legal Services program. Please direct all questions and responses to Paige Hardy, Volunteer Legal Services Coordinator at
<a href="mailto:PaigeH@kcba.org">PaigeH@kcba.org</a> or by phone at 206-267-7025. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Volunteer Legal Services (VLS) is looking for a volunteer attorney to work with a Vashon resident to prevent him from homelessness. The first step in helping this individual is to obtain a one-year extension of the building permit. Please
read the description below and let me know if you would interested in taking on this client through our VLS program. The current volunteer has decided to stop practicing law, and we are searching for someone to help
<b><u>before the permit expires in mid-October</u></b>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b>Client Summary:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Disabled client has been working with a VLS attorney for almost a decade, and then an<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>Associate at his firm for a couple years after the VLS attorney retired, to bring his home up to<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>code to prevent him from becoming homeless. With the help of his attorneys, client was able to<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>acquire several permits, loans, and time extensions on building permits, while making repairs<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>on his home. Client has been able to install a fire sprinkler system, and to bri<span style="color:#1F497D">n</span>g his septic<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>system and well up to code. However, more work is needed.</span><span style="font-size:8.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The primary focus right now is client’s completion of the foundation in accordance with a<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>recent report, and obtaining another one-year extension of the building permit when it expires<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>again in October. Continued contact is helpful to focus client on completing this work.<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>Although the County has been incredibly cooperative and understanding, if it decides not to<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>extend the building permit litigation might be necessary. Using funds<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>being held could help advance the work. The County also recently suggested lining up Professor Smith at SU and the County for another visit to check compliance with Professor<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>Smith’s report.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We are looking for a new volunteer to take over the case, because one of the attorneys who<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>has been assisting client retired, and the other is leaving practice to pursue another career.<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>Retired attorney is happy to continue to consult with whomever takes the case over. Volunteer<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>should have land use permitting knowledge and capacity to work with clients who suffer from<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>cognitive disabilities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
