The Tenants Law Firm is a private nonprofit agency that has taken the lead in fighting for housing rights for the most disadvantaged sectors in our society. We have implemented four primary programs aimed at preventing homelessness. These include targeted representation for veterans, housing policy compliance, minority homelessness prevention, and eviction litigation. Despite being a new non-profit, we expect to have made an impact in over 500 lives by the end of the year. Our services provide long-term benefits for communities throughout Los Angeles.
We are looking for attorneys, paralegals, or legal staff to assist our organization in efforts to end tenant injustice and homelessness in the Los Angeles county. Just two hours per year can save one family!
