Advocacy and Litigation

The National Housing Law Project engages in both advocacy and litigation to advance its interests.

Litigation

NHLP co-counsels on litigation and submits amicus briefs on cases that are likely to have significant impact on housing rights.  Only under exceptional circumstances have we been lead counsel in a case, preferring to serve as co-counsel or of counsel.  Our most common partners are legal services organizations but we are willing to co-counsel with other mission driven organizations. See our litigation webpage for recent and ongoing cases.
