Housing instability—whether through eviction or threats to homeownership—is often rooted in broader economic challenges. This session explores how legal issues that surface in housing cases are frequently symptoms of underlying financial distress. By integrating consumer law strategies into housing advocacy, legal aid attorneys can help clients understand their rights, prioritize limited resources, and push back against harmful debt collection practices. Designed for legal aid advocates across all practice areas, this session will equip attendees with practical tools to better issue spot and address the overlapping housing and consumer law challenges faced by low-income Texans.
