Housing Land Advocates is a dedicated advocate for affordable housing through education and litigation.
When necessary, HLA will consider litigation to ensure that State housing goals are applied for all income levels, to ensure a regional fair share of affordable housing, and to further our goal to ensure an equitable distribution of housing by race, class, and income.
However HLA cannot, by law, provide representation as legal counsel for other persons.
