How Does the Civil Right to Counsel Movement Promote Health and Economic Justice?

This interactive workshop examines traditional and non-traditional strategies for working with tenants/homeowners facing housing loss in diverse situations. Starting with the premise that housing is a basic human right, we explore how the right to counsel movement is part of a comprehensive system to promote the health and well-being of communities.

Unemployment Benefits: A Life Raft for Low-Income Clients in Recessionary Times

The workshop discusses the eligibility requirements for unemployment benefits so attendees can give accurate advice to people about when, if, and how to apply. One may be eligible even if one quits or is fired. We will also cover lesser known, but helpful programs administered by the Employment Security Department.
