A DeKalb County woman, once at risk of eviction, may be able to stay in her home of 27 years.

Juliet Brown’s case became the focus of a campaign by Housing Justice League. The group held a press conference this past fall outside her small brick home near Glenwood Road.

Speaking from her lawn, Brown said the eviction notice was an embarrassment. She didn’t live a life like that. She’s a 64-year-old woman who works in nutrition for DeKalb County Schools.
