June 5: Webcast + San Francisco - Holistic Legal Advocacy for the Homeless: Strategies for Addressing Benefits, Housing and Social Services Issues Facing Homeless Populations #MCLE

This introduction to the Holistic Legal Advocacy Model and substantive law training provides the powerful tools needed to transform the lives of homeless clients. Practitioners from the Homeless Advocacy Project (“HAP”) at the Justice & Diversity Center of The Bar Association of San Francisco will share their expertise in holistic legal advocacy and insights for effectively assisting homeless clients. Attend this free program and then volunteer with your local legal services agency to represent homeless clients or those at risk of homelessness.
This training will provide an overview in the primary areas of practice we have found to have the most impact on homelessness, as well as an introduction to HAP’s Holistic Legal Services Model. The program will cover:

• Social Security Disability Benefits Advocacy
• Fair Housing and Eviction Defense
• Motion Practice Specific to Unlawful Detainer
• Other Legal Issues Related to Benefits

Any attorney interested in providing pro bono assistance to homeless clients or clients at risk of homelessness and particularly California licensed attorneys would benefit from attending this program.
