USC Gould Housing Law and Policy Clinic

Students have the opportunity to address complex housing issues by providing direct legal services to tenants, working alongside Los Angeles-area community groups and meeting with local leaders. In taking part of the clinic, USC students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the housing crisis - from institutional injustices to economic factors to ethical considerations. In Los Angeles and areas across the U.S., the housing crisis is intensifying. Addressing the challenge requires building a broad skillset of practical training and advocacy skills. As student in the Gould School’s Housing Law and Policy Clinic, you will be part of an experiential learning environment that encompasses client representation, coursework, policy projects, guest lectures, reflective assignments, workshops, case rounds, field experiences, and individual supervision.
