There is a flurry of innovative technology and policies to respond to the eviction crisis in America's cities. This includes new web applications to give strategic guidance, new policies giving tenants right to counsel, new programs to provide paralegals or volunteers' services, and new education to train people on their rights. But how can legal advocates and technologists be more strategic, coordinated, and impactful with our work? In this session, participants will be guided through a Strategic Mapping session, to envision how lawyers, technologists, and policymakers can foster solutions that can fix the various dysfunctions of the eviction system and be replicated among various jurisdictions. Attendees will learn about the current landscape of technology, services, and policy innovations that has emerged to address the eviction crisis and work to map out how local jurisdictions might coordinate, replicate, and improve upon these innovations for their specific contexts. The goal is to weave together multiple interventions – among legal aid providers, courts, policymakers, community leaders, and beyond – to envision system change.
