At HAP, we have found that our work has the most positive impact when we focus on eviction prevention, benefits advocacy and immigration issues. Our clients are individuals and families who are homeless or who are at serious risk of homelessness. While each client comes with their own story of struggle, we give priority to clients who have mental health disabilities, as they often have the most difficulty navigating the legal system without representation. Our office utilizes a holistic approach to the problems our clients face by providing both legal representation and supporting social services.

  • Must be a member of the California State Bar in good standing
  • Knowledge and experience representing tenants in unlawful detainers preferred, other litigation experience valued.
  • Able to effectively interact with low-income clients and clients who have severe mental health disabilities.
  • Able to work collaboratively with co-workers, fellow attorneys and court personnel.
  • Able to work independently and make quick decisions while managing multiple projects in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
  • Excellent oral, written, and client service skills
  • Knowledge of MS Office (Outlook, Word, Excel)
  • Experience with operating Zoom, or other remote appearance applications
  • Bilingual (Spanish or Chinese) skills are highly desirable

Why Work For Us:
We offer a collaborative work environment, a progressive work culture, and a wonderfully diverse staff. Additionally, we are a mission and values based organization.
We also offer a benefits package that includes: a choice of medical insurance plans, dental insurance, vision insurance, pretax commuter, health, and dependent care accounts, employer paid short- and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and a retirement and profit-sharing benefit, and more.
Contingent on the ability to provide effective full scope representation to clients, HAP generally has a 35 hour/4-day work week. Currently, HAP also provides the possibility of a hybrid work model offering the opportunity to work remotely up to two days/week, depending on organizational needs.
