HPRPs mission is to end homelessness in Maryland by providing free legal services, including advice, counsel, education, representation and advocacy, for low-income persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Our staff and volunteers pursue this mission by offering legal services through outreach in shelters, soup kitchens, welfare ofces, community centers, and on the street. Our direct representation informs broader-based systemic advocacy and impact litigation to address the root causes of homelessness.

In 2011, HPRP launched the Speaker Series on the Importance of Housing at the Enoch Pratt Free Library. Sponsored by HPRP Board Member Jane Harrison, the Series brought national experts to Baltimore to not only discuss the need for housing, but to aid in our efforts to change the conversation away from a sense of the inevitability of homelessness and toward the notion of housing for all. The Series presented three speakers, who were each followed by a panel of local experts to discuss implementation of their ideas. The Series topics and Speakers were as follows: Life Without Housing, featuring Tanya Tull, CEO of Beyond Shelter, who discussed the trauma of homelessness and its effect on homeless families; Implementing a Right to Housing, featuring Florence Roisman, William F. Harvey Professor of Law at Indiana University School of Law, Indianapolis, who discussed the legal concept of a right to housing; Housing Development for All, featuring Trudy McFall, Chairman, Homes for America, who discussed concrete changes necessary in government funding of affordable housing to expand the support of affordable housing in Maryland. A fourth panel followed addressing next steps for advocacy and three (3) primary advocacy initiatives were identied: 1) Prohibiting discrimination based on source of income; 2) Pursuing a local one-for-one replacement requirement regarding the loss of affordable housing; and 3) Improving affordable housing development at the State level including eliminating local approval requirements for affordable housing development, adding additional preferences for locally owned development companies, and improved oversight of awarded programs.
