Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County (www.legalaidsmc.org) is seeking an attorney to join our Housing Rights Team which currently consists of four attorneys and four project coordinators who work collaboratively on all aspects of the program. On the front lines of the housing affordability crisis, Housing staff members work to defend individual tenancies, enforce existing tenant protections through impact litigation, and advocate for effective and equitable housing policies in partnership with impacted communities. Currently Housing staff are deeply involved in work with low-income tenants impacted by COVID-19: educating residents about pandemic tenant protection measures; litigating eviction cases to enforce and interpret these protective laws; and advocating for the adoption of effective policies in the county and the state.

To Apply: Submit: 1) one page cover letter explaining your interest and qualifications; 2) your resume; and 3) writing sample. Send to: David Carducci, Director of Litigation. Email: jobs@legalaidsmc.org
