December Housing Law Sidebar

December 1, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm

The Housing Law Sidebar is a time for VLN housing staff and volunteers to eat a (virtual) lunch together, learn about a housing topic, and socialize with one another. This is an informal event. There will be no power point presentations, but instead a brief explanation of a topic by a VLN staff member, followed by questions about the topic, discussion, and time for questions or discussion on any topics of interest. Volunteers are encouraged to share stories of their experiences with housing cases with one another and maybe learn a little! This is casual and for all our volunteers – brand new and experienced alike!

Ever wonder what it would be like to take on a phone advice shift? Taking on a phone advice shift is a way to volunteer where you assist 1-4 clients over a defined 2-hour period. You assess clients’ cases for merit and refer them back to VLN for full representation placement, provide advice on how the client can pursue the case on their own, or advise the client as to what the problems are in their case and help them decide if they should proceed, and how. This Housing Law Sidebar will discuss the types of cases typically encountered in phone advice sessions and provide some tips for making merit assessments. We will also provide information on what is coming up in the area of phone advice.
