Lawyers for neighborhood equality and housing opportunity
HNLP lawyers successfully advocate against racial discrimination and segregation in housing and neighborhoods.
Neighborhoods have the right to be free from illegal landfills harming their neighborhood.
Neighborhoods of color have suffered from industrial pollution for decades in violation of the right to clean, healthy neighborhoods.
Residents have the right to homes not polluted by adjoining industry.
LEGAL SOLUTIONS
Our law firm helps communities of color fight for safe, equitable, healthy neighborhoods by eliminating hazards, risks, and inequitable conditions in traditionally neglected, underserved segregated neighborhoods,
AND
We advocate for inclusive communities where all families can access non-segregated neighborhoods.
HNLP seeks remedies for racial segregation impacting housing and neighborhoods such as:
Low-income neighborhoods of color with egregiously unequal neighborhood living conditions caused by racial and ethnic segregation and discrimination.
AND
The barriers to affordable housing erected by cities prevent racially and ethnically inclusive communities. These exclusionary practices function to keep out persons of color from obtaining housing in white neighborhoods.
HNLP ADVOCACY
The Housing and Neighborhood Law Project lawyers work to help the residents of racially and ethnically concentrated communities who choose to challenge public and private actions that maintain the racial segregation and unequal conditions. This includes legal challenges to zoning policies, locations of industrial uses in or near residential neighborhoods, provision of unequal municipal services, environmental inequality, and overconcentration of poverty housing with no revitalization resources.
AND
The Housing and Neighborhood Law Project lawyers work to remove exclusionary barriers for low-income persons of color to have affordable housing choice.
