Merit is by far the best ALS doctor I have ever met. She runs multiple trials through MGH. I know it may be a burden but try to get an apt with her or at least watch her talks/interviews as she can provide amazing landscape of ongoing trials.

Stay strong. ALS is a daily grind. My pops is starting year 5 since his diagnosis and while things are definitely getting harder he is still with it.

Another thing to know is that if/when non invasive ventilation is needed talk with Jason:

He’s a lung doctor but specializes in als and can help prevent the need for a trach

What you posted is the source. The same source eviction defense groups use actually, the L&I site. This person was probably eligible for eviction diversion but the city does piss poor outreach in making that clear. You need a valid rental license to even file an eviction, but people still get evicted extrajudicially or sign over their right to fight it in court in exchange for rent forgiveness. End of the day someone was SHOT IN THE HEAD for refusing homelessness.
