The @evictionlab dived into threats to federal funding for legal services (which ultimately took 3.6% cut): evictionlab.org/legal-aid-unde…. In some states, federal funding is 70% of a legal services org's budget. @LSCtweets

Lawmakers and activists are rallying in Albany in favor of the Access to Representation Act and the funding required to ensure a right to an attorney in immigration court. Both chambers included $175 million for that purpose, far more than what the guv included

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Liam Karp, of Springfield, says that in the past 12 months, 2,919 eviction notices have been filed in Springfield. Karp believes a Right to Counsel program would keep tenants from being wrongfully uprooted.

One of the most surprising, cruelest things about U.S. immigration is there’s no recognized right to counsel. Immigrants — including children - must face government trained lawyers alone.
There was a program to at least help children facing deportation. Trump ended it.

There was a fantastic piece a few years ago on @LastWeekTonight that addressed this: youtube.com/watch?v=9fB0GB…. Gov'ts expert testified that he could teach 3-4 year olds to represent themselves! @immcouncil @verainstitute #righttocounsel

I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids docket. These children, some as young as three years old, are expected to understand complex legal processes and represent themselves in court. That’s not due process.

🏠A study of Washington's Right to Counsel program finds legal representation may lower stress & improve housing stability for evicted tenants.
But tenants are only half as likely as landlords to be represented by RTC, says @WvonGeldern. 🔗bit.ly/3LDc0rE #NICHDimpact

@orana_hawaii We are not affiliated with the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) at all. We just point people to them as the legal services organizations they fund provide free representation to people in their geographic area.

@orana_hawaii We can't answer that question specifically, but the Legal Services Corporation has a "Find a Provider" site you can use to ask that question to the right org: lsc.gov/about-lsc/what…

I’m proud that the @NYCCouncil passed my bill to create a new right-to-counsel for domestic violence survivors in divorce proceedings.
With funding secured by @WomensCaucusNYC, this program will save lives by ensuring victims have legal representation at a critical moment.

A right-wing classic: protecting tenants hurts tenants. Protecting landlords helps tenants.
“Former” professors?
Jay Parsons@jayparsons
NEW RESEARCH by former professors at Harvard and UC-Berkeley answers the question: How do tenant protections like "just cause eviction," right-to-counsel, and source-of-income impact rents? Answer: They drive up rents -- especially for the lowest-income renters. Findings: 🧵

🏠 The growing right-to-counsel movement faces a big hurdle — not enough attorneys. Legal Support for Renters policies keep families housed & save cities money, but a nationwide attorney shortage puts that at risk. Learn how cities are stepping up: cityhealth.org/resource/build…

Since Right to Counsel (RTC) was passed on 6/1/2022 in KCMO, we have changed the narrative on what is possible for tenants facing eviction. Over 10,000 tenants in KC have avoided eviction and stayed housed - including children, people w disabilities, veterans + seniors.

We helped challenge this in NJ and won: civilrighttocounsel.org/major_developm…. The ruling required both a hearing and counsel.

Maryland's automated driver's license suspension process suspends parents over and over, so they are stuck in a perpetual state of impending license suspension, making it nearly impossible to maintain steady work.

@danielahanley There's definitely a lot going on, and we've got all the activity tracked at civilrighttocounsel.org/map/.

I'm curious whether the debate over a civil right to counsel, sometimes called "Civil Gideon," has been supercharged by the actions of the Trump admin? I think it's clear that everyone should have access to a free or affordable publicly funded attorney for civil claims.

4 years ago today, @ConnecticutDSA, @ctfairhousing, what became @cttenantsunion, and a coalition of scores of organizations including @TheNCCRC successfully passed #RightToCounsel in Connecticut. There is still a lot of work to do, but much to be learned from how we won.

Tons of positive info about systemic impacts of tenant #righttocounsel: courts following the law, new law developed via appeals, legal services improving coordination, Ts getting services more effectively. We've work to do on rollout challenges but lots of good identified too.
