How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Hotline-Based Legal Support for Eviction Preventionmethodology: hotline-based-legal-supportBy using a telephone hotline to deliver legal support, we produce broader access to eviction prevention and housing stabilization services because it lowers barriers to access for at-risk tenants who may face transportation, time, or information constraints.
- Legal Empowerment of Unrepresented Litigantsmethodology: legal-empowerment-of-unrepresented-litigantsBy providing legal information and direct assistance to unrepresented litigants, we produce more equitable access to justice in housing court because informed tenants are better able to navigate legal processes and assert their rights.
