I was just offered a job that does background check! I was just placed on first time probation for 2 Yrs! For a drug charge how will this effect my background check? And when my lease comes up will this effect my lease? If so what can I do to remain in low income housing?

Important Information

Legal Aid Funding
Legal aid professionals and organizations oftentimes receive government funding for taking on cases with those who cannot afford attorneys. For the most part, funding is limited so legal aid entities can only take on a limited amount of cases. Qualifications are often rigid.
