The Housing Clinic offers a comprehensive set of legal services focused on assisting and empowering low income individuals in housing related matters. Its goal is to instill in students a sense of compassion and responsibility in representing the interests of the under represented. It also provides students with practical training in core legal skills and an understanding of the rules of professional responsibility. Students also study relevant government Programs and policies and assess their success or failure in meeting the needs of people who are homeless or at risk of becoming so.
