Los Angeles

This trip will focus on providing legal services to the homeless population in Los Angeles, as well as providing legal services related to homelessness prevention, namely in the realm of eviction defense.

We will be partnering with two local legal, non-profit organizations: Inner City Law Center and Bet Tzedek. Students can expect to do substantive legal work and interact with members of the homelessness services community. We will be working closely with attorneys to understand and address the issues that the Los Angeles homeless population faces, as well as some of the legal ways to prevent homelessness. In addition, members will have the opportunity to meet renowned community leaders and gain hands-on experience through community service. We expect members to be enthusiastic about working with and assisting individuals experiencing and at risk of homelessness.
