Andrew Ashbrook, the NCCRC’s Tenant RTC Implementation Advisor, published a blog post for CityHealth called Building the Bar: Solving the Attorney Shortage Threatening Tenant Right to Counsel. It explores the national shortage of tenant attorneys (and attorney shortage across civil legal aid and public defense systems more broadly). The post looks at ways in which cities can support the efforts by legal services providers and law schools to address the issue, including through tenant defense clinics, increased attorney pay, and stabilized caseloads. The NCCRC partners with CityHealth on development of and support for the Legal Support for Renters policy (tenant right to counsel), which is part of CityHealth’s 2.0 Policy Package.
