Join us for "Housing Rights Through an Intersectional Lens" — March 2, 2023

Thursday, March 2, 2023
4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. PST
ºÚÈË̽»¨ | 2nd Floor | BW Louis Room
1 hour of CLE credit offered

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a much-needed moratorium on evictions temporarily shielded Los Angeles tenants from housing insecurity.  As these protections begin to sunset, disproportionately impacting low-income communities of color, this panel will explore the intersectional issues of housing justice facing tenants and housing insecure communities.  Join us as we explore the fight for housing security in Los Angeles, and elevate the work of attorneys, clinical professors, and law students who fight for housing security on behalf of their clients.  

This event qualifies for 1-hour of general MCLE credit and will consist of two parts:

• 4:30 - 5:30 p.m.— Panel discussion
• 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. — Community-building reception with light refreshments
