正當全世界都在對抗新冠疫情之際，亞美公義促進中心（Asian Americans Advancing Justice）為洛杉磯縣嘗試尋找或希望保有安全住所的華、韓、越、泰裔居民，以他們的語言提供免費法律協助。
這項稱為「住房權利法律協助門診」（Housing Rights Legal Help Clinic）的計劃，將由經過亞美公義促進中心和美國亞太裔法律協會（Asian Pacific American Bar Association）審核、精通英語、中文、韓語、越南語和泰語的律師，透過網路或電話提供關於住房和歧視問題的免費個人法律諮詢。
他們將為低收入或英語能力有限的美國亞裔、夏威夷原住民和太平洋島民（Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander，簡稱AANHPI）解決房東騷擾、逼遷、租約糾紛或其他問題。
亞美公義促進中心執行長喬康妮（Connie Chung Joe，音譯）說：「我們知道，英語能力有限的民眾往往得不到應有的權利，因此，我們決定在這個動盪不安的時期站出來保護他們。」
主管律師伊文斯（Charles Evans）說：「我們希望過濾出帶有種族歧視成份的行為。」
第一次電話訪談將了解民眾需要哪一種語言的協助，以及他們的財務狀況是否符合資格（依照聯邦衡量貧困的標準），然後民眾便可以預約門診，時間通常是每個月第二個禮拜二晚上6時到8時。伊文斯表示，根據民眾的需求，民眾可能會被轉介給中心內部的部門，或其他合作組織。
