NCLER: Advocating for Tenants in the Aftermath of COVID-19

Free Webcast: Advocating for Tenants in the Aftermath of COVID-19

When: Tuesday, July 12, 2022, at 11:00-12:15 P.T./2:00-3:15 E.T.

At the height of COVID-19, more than 10 million U.S. renter households were delinquent in rent and as many as 23 million faced a significant possibility of eviction. The federal government responded to that crisis with a series of eviction restrictions and rental assistance funds, supplemented by state and local initiatives in much of the country. But as most of those interventions wind down, renters in the transition period out of COVID-19 face a host of new challenges: increasing rents across the country, admission barriers tied to pandemic-era rental history, and renewed hostility to rent subsidies and income supports.

This training will survey lingering programs and protections available to tenants in the aftermath of COVID-19, emerging new laws aimed at helping tenants cope with new realities, and key legal arguments for tenants encountering common post-pandemic difficulties.

Participants will:

1. Understand the ways in which Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) and access to housing intersect to support the ability of older adults to age in place;
2. Gain familiarity with new and emerging issues in the landlord-tenant law space; and
3. Be acquainted with lingering policies and protections from the COVID-19 era and new laws enacted to help tenants who were affected financially during the pandemic.

Presenter: Eric Dunn, Director of Litigation, National Housing Law Project
