This case study focuses on three innovative organizations that are addressing housing instability, using strategies such as community lawyering, changing the narrative through storytelling, and using arts to bring attention to issues: Community Justice Project, Equal Justice Works, and Texas Housers. Each organization implemented its programs, in part, to help stabilize renters during crises. In this case study, we discuss how their models were implemented, key challenges and successes, and political and policy considerations to influence similarly situated organizations working on tenant organizing and advocacy.
