  • Interviews and Focus Groups

    Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO) is working to better understand how to support survivors of domestic violence who have faced housing challenges or the possibility of eviction. 

    We will be hosting Housing and DV User Research Interviews and Focus Groups from September 2026 to February 2027. All participants must have access to a device with working camera, microphone, and internet access to attend our virtual meetings.

    If you have experienced eviction or housing instability as a result of domestic abuse and are interested in talking to us about your experience, we invite you to apply. Participants will recieve a $150 gift card for each 1-hour session, and spots are limited.

    What we learn from you will help us find ways to make legal information and support more accessible and responsive to survivors across Illinois. Thank you for your time.
