Has he been through landlord/tenant court and gotten a court order followed by the 30 day eviction notice with a scheduled date? There is an eviction prevention hotline. If not, it takes a while to reach that point.

DC Dept of Aging can help with referrals. The agencies they contract with have funds to help with cleaning to prevent eviction. Agencies by Ward. Find his here.. But without ongoing support he will soon be back in the same place. Hoarding support isn’t just a matter of cleaning.

Many Wards have whats called “villages” that help residents volunteer coordinate services on behalf of elderly residents. This can fill in the gaps.

He got some kind of notice on his door with a court date in mid January starting the process. Thank you so much for these resources! He said he left a msg with Legal Services for the Elderly but with the holidays has not heard back yet. Looking at the Office on Aging website they have connections to a lot of resources. I will encourage him to reach out to them. Really appreciate the info! Hopefully he can get help and an eviction can be averted.
