Lead the Housing and Movement Lawyering Team by mentoring staff and managing a small caseload of housing-related legal matters. Support housing advocacy, policy reform, and collaborative projects to prevent evictions and preserve affordable housing in D.C.
Requires a J.D. and eligibility to practice law in D.C., with 5-7 years of legal experience including 3 years of litigation and 2 years of supervision. Must have at least 4 years of housing law expertise and prior experience in a public interest setting.
The mission of Bread for the City is to help Washington, D.C. residents living on low incomes to develop the power to determine the future of their own communities. We provide food, clothing, medical care, and legal and social services to reduce the burden of poverty. We seek justice through community organizing and public advocacy. We work to uproot racism, a major cause of poverty. We are committed to treating our clients with the dignity and respect that all people deserve.
Bread for the City’s Legal Clinic works to ensure better access to justice for individuals in our nation’s capital. The Legal Clinic provides front-line civil legal services primarily in housing, family, immigration, and public benefits law. Our housing law practice includes defending tenants against complaints for possession of real estate, affirmative litigation on behalf of tenants and tenant associations, representation at administrative agencies, and advice and counsel in a variety of housing-related matters.
Position Description:
Bread for the City seeks a dedicated lawyer with 5-7 years of post J.D. experience to assist our two Supervising Attorneys and Managing Attorney in leading our Housing and Movement Lawyering Team. In addition to responsibilities around staff development, mentoring and training of staff, loaned associates, pro bono attorneys, and law clerks, Supervising Attorneys at Bread for the City represent clients and maintain a small caseload.
Bread for the City’s Housing and Movement Lawyering practice consists of nine attorneys, one associate loaned from an area law firm, and two paralegals. We prioritize cases that involve the prevention of eviction and the preservation of safe and affordable housing. The majority of our cases provide representation in eviction matters in the D.C. Superior Court Landlord Tenant Branch. Occasionally, attorneys engage in other matters before D.C.’s Housing Conditions Court and the Superior Court Civil Division. We also assist tenants in administrative proceedings, representing tenants and participants in subsidy programs or at the District’s Office of Administrative Hearings. These cases involve the termination of subsidies, improper rent calculation, and illegal rent increases.
The Housing and Movement Lawyering practice participates in several joint projects with five other legal services providers in the District. The projects include staffing the Landlord Tenant Legal Assistance Network, a hotline for tenants seeking assistance; a collaborative effort to provide same-day legal help, including temporary representation, to tenants in Landlord-Tenant Court (“Attorney of the Day”); the Housing Right to Counsel Project, a partnership with several area law firms to provide representation to subsidized housing tenants; and the Eviction Prevention in Communities project, a collaboration with community-based organizations to provide, among other things, outreach to tenants who have been sued for eviction.
Finally, the Supervising Attorney will help support housing-related advocacy and policy reform efforts in the District through participation in various stakeholder groups, legislative reform efforts and outreach/tenant education events. The Legal Clinic seeks to fill the vacancy as soon as possible.
