Although housing insecurity has been a systemic problem for low- and moderate-income households for years, the pandemic has exacerbated the issue. Further, while the federal government and the states have created temporary protections for renters, many have expired or are set to expire. The question becomes: what next? This session will explore strategies to keep existing protections and to effect additional legislative, judicial, and administrative changes to protect low-income tenants and marginalized communities. This session will also discuss ways to prepare students to engage in both systemic advocacy and direct client representation.
