    The Seattle City Council, on Monday, voted to give free legal representation to people in the city facing eviction. One change, an amendment from Council President M. Lorena González makes the offer available only to tenants who are “indigent.” Indigent is very broadly defined as someone unable to afford a lawyer. Councilmember Kshama Sawant, the measure’s lead sponsor, strenuously opposed the change, arguing any sort of income eligibility requirement was both demeaning to those facing eviction, and would ultimately mean fewer people access the service.
