With growing evidence of legal representation as one of the most effective tools to prevent housing instability, cities and states across the country are passing right to counsel legislation and investing in eviction defense programs for low-income renters.?Three housing advocates working on behalf of marginalized communities to increase access to eviction representation will discuss the disproportionate impact of housing eviction on women of color and share local and national perspectives.  

Join us on Thursday, January 30, 2020 to learn more about strategies for using data, obtaining funding, working with tenant organizers, and engaging strategic partners.?Webinar participants will have an opportunity to share successes and challenges in expanding access to representation in their own region.
