Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Organization is a national housing and legal advocacy center. Its 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 tenantsb

  • The principal programs of the Organization are: Policy Analysis and AdvocacyPolicy advocacy is a core component of NHLPs work. NHLP policy advocacy efforts include monitoring proposed and existing policies and programs at the federal, state and local levels and preparing and disseminating analyses of proposed policies. The Organization makes direct presentations to legislative and administrative bodies and also helps advocates in appearances before these bodies.Policymakers at all levels of government often request NHLPs assistance in evaluating the impact of proposals and programs on the poor. Additionally, NHLP provides policymakers with strategies to more effectively respond to the housing challenges of low income households, people of color, immigrants, domestic violence survivors and people with criminal records.Co-counsel and Other Litigation AssistanceOn select cases that bear a potentially high impact in the development of housing law or affect large numbers of low-income households, NHLP participates in litigation with local attorneys as co-counsel, amicus curiae, or in an advisory capacity.PublicationsNHLP provides an array of publications and resources for housing advocates. NHLP is author of HUD Housing Programs: Tenants Rights, a comprehensive legal manual on the rights of residents of federally assisted housing programs, and numerous field manuals that educate legal advocates on the laws governing housing issues that affect poor people and special needs groups and which provide practical client representation strategies. NHLP distributes a monthly newsletter updating its working partners, supporters, and others in the field on innovative ideas and new developments in the low-income housing sector, including new cases, legislation and agency activities. In addition, NHLP periodically releases fact sheets and analyses of emerging issues within its initiative areas.Housing Justice NetworkNHLP sponsors the Housing Justice Network (HJN), an informal network of more than 1,000 experienced housing advocates concerned with advancing housing justice for poor people. HJN members participate in peer learning through list servers and working groups, and collaborate on policy advocacy.Assistance to California Legal Services Programs and AttorneysNHLP receives funding from The State Bar of California under the IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts) and Equal Access Fund programs to serve as a statewide support center to Californias legal services programs and attorneys. As a support center, the Organization provides training, technical assistance, and litigation and advocacy support on issues related to the federal housing programs. Under the Equal Access Fund program, the Organization assists legal services programs in issues related to increasing housing access and opportunity for its client population throughout the state.Technical Assistance for Department of Justice GranteesNHLP provides training and technical assistance to grantees of the U.S. Department of Justices Office of Violence Against Women programs (OVW).

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
