Do you have crime-free programs and/or nuisance property ordinances in your service area? Are tenants reaching for help because they are being threatened with eviction due to these programs or ordinances? How do you begin to investigate the effect of these programs and/or ordinances and consider potential litigation? Come join us for a discussion with advocates who have done these investigations which led to successful litigation challenging these programs and/or laws.

We will also share a *new* guide for advocates on suggested open records requests directed at local governments with crime-free programs and/or nuisance property ordinances.
