National Housing Law Project to Hold Webinar on City Nuisance Property Ordinances and Impacts on Domestic Violence Survivors

The National Housing Law Project (NHLP) will hold a webinar to discuss key features and trends in city nuisance property ordinances and their impact of domestic violence survivors. These ordinances require landlords to regulate the conduct of their tenants, sometimes through eviction, often penalizing landlords if they fail to do so. These laws can have a disproportionate effect on domestic violence survivors, who may have to call the police for help more often than others. The webinar will take place on Tuesday, June 30 at 2 pm ET and will be closed captioned. Register at: https://adobe.ly/30XPrV8

The Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law has created a legal data set to track nuisance property ordinances in the 40 most populous cities. The webinar will introduce the methods and process used to create this data set and discuss key features of the laws. Following the presentations, there will be time for questions from webinar attendees. 

Presenters include:

  • Jessica Amoroso, JD, law and policy analyst at the Center for Public Health Law Research (CPHLR), Temple University Beasley School of Law
  • Katie Moran-McCabe, JD, special projects manager at the Center for Public Health Law Research, Temple University Beasley School of Law
  • Mariel Block, staff attorney, National Housing Law Project
  • Moderator: Renee Williams, senior staff attorney, National Housing Law Project
