SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA — The National Housing Law Project provides legal assistance to affordable housing residents and their advocates and trains public agency staff about housing policies and regulations. In many parts of the country, low-income families face a shortage of safe, affordable rental housing. The problem is exacerbated by tenants' inability to afford competent lawyers in disputes with landlords, and by local elected officials' lack of understanding about their obligations to support affordable rental housing. With this grant, the National Housing Law Project will continue to provide legal advocacy and education to advance the goal of preserving affordable rental housing across the country.
