Organization Description:

The National Housing Law Project (NHLP) is a nonprofit national housing and legal advocacy center established in 1968. Our mission is to advance housing justice for poor people by:
• Increasing and preserving the supply of decent, affordable housing
• Improving existing housing conditions, including physical conditions and management practices
• Expanding and enforcing low-income tenants' and homeowners' rights, and
• Increasing housing opportunities for racial and ethnic minorities.

Through policy advocacy and litigation, NHLP has been responsible for many critically important changes to federal housing policy and programs that have resulted in increased housing opportunities and improved housing conditions for poor people. Working with a nationwide network of low-income housing advocates, NHLP has helped produce and preserve millions of units of affordable housing and has established and enforced many fundamental rights now claimed by poor tenants and homeowners.
