Merf Ehman is a managing attorney with Columbia Legal Services in Seattle. She often helps people fight for their housing rights when they have nowhere else to turn. Merf is pretty good at what she does, but she didn't always imagine herself as a successful attorney. She tells KUOW's Jeremy Richards how far she's come when she thinks about where she was about 20 years ago — homeless, addicted to drugs and struggling with mental illness.
