R1C. Navigating the Housing Justice Network: How to Strengthen Your Practice!
The Housing Justice Network (HJN) is a dedicated community of more than 700 experienced housing advocates who serve on the front lines to advance housing rights. Along with the HJN listserv, the HJN Conference brings together the HJN community for three days of in-person collaboration, sharing resources, exchanging perspectives, and to give support. For many newer housing advocates, the HJN Conference is the first time being in a space centered on housing justice for low-income tenants. This session is a discussion on navigating housing law, the multiple resources available to HJN members, and networking.
