Youth Homelessness: What Lawyers Need to Know

University of Baltimore School of Law 1401 N. Charles Street, Baltimore

This training will provide an understanding of youth homelessness (local statistics, causes, experiences of youth), cultural competency for working with youth experiencing homelessness, and an overview of HPRP's Homeless Youth Legal Network pro bono initiative. Attorneys taking the training will need experience in one or more of these areas: child custody, identity theft, consumer debt, name and gender changes, connecting with foster care, or private landlord-tenant law.
