As you advance and implement a tenant right to counsel, tenant outreach is imperative at all stages of your plan. Tenants must be involved in developing the plan, activated to make other tenants aware, and deeply familiar with the strategies and what a right to counsel can mean. Developing effective, adaptable, multi-faceted outreach strategies, and planning for how outreach and phase-in will interact is key to an effective, sustainable, and transformative tenant right to counsel law. How can we better reach tenants? Are there drawbacks to effective outreach (causing legal services providers to be over-capacity and potentially close intake)?
Join us in this strategy session to learn more about successful tenant outreach techniques and potential cautions.
