NLIHC’s Virtual Housing Policy Forum 2022: Achieving Housing Justice, taking place March 22-23, 2022 (12:30-5:30 pm ET on March 22 and 1-5:30 pm ET on March 23), will feature an in-depth session on the federal, state, and local renter protections needed to ensure long-term housing stability and to address the power imbalance between renters and landlords that puts renters at risk of housing instability, harassment, and homelessness. The session will provide an overview of current tenant protections, the impact inadequate protections can have on low-income tenants, and the advocacy needed. A panel of experts will discuss federal policies protecting against discrimination, wrongful eviction, harassment, or other violations of tenants’ rights. The panel will address how to advance tenant protections at the local level and how to achieve right-to-counsel laws locally and federally.
The forum will also feature keynote speakers and panels on: Racial Equity and Housing Justice featuring MacArthur “Genius” photographer LaToya Ruby Frazier; the HoUSed Campaign for Universal, Stable, Affordable Housing – Progress To-Date and Road Ahead; Capitol Hill Insiders Panel; Ending Rental Arrears to Stop Evictions; Expanding the Multi-Sector Affordable Housing Movement; Best Practices in Organizing; and Discussions with Members of Congress and Senior Administration Officials.
Forum attendees will have the opportunity to network with other attendees, and NLIHC will provide a selection of interactive sessions with NLIHC experts on Our Homes, Our Votes 2022: Non-partisan Voter and Candidate Engagement; disaster housing recovery; effective media/social media strategies and practices; and anti-racism, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
