Richland One families who are financially struggling and/or facing problems with their homes can receive free help before the holidays.
In partnership with the Columbia Branch of the NAACP, the district will hold four free housing clinics through December. Families can get guidance on habitability issues such as mold and broken fixtures, illegal evictions, utility assistance, public benefits and more.
