The Human Right to Housing Awards event is a little over a week away! Don’t forget to secure your ticket for this year’s celebration.  
 
Announcing the recipient of the Bruce F. Vento Award... U.S. Representative Barbara Lee! 
This non-partisan award honors the legacy of the late Congressman Bruce F. Vento, our friend and supporter, whose leadership made such a difference for unhoused Americans. Representative Barbara Lee has represented the state of California since 1998 and has been a decades-long advocate for the unhoused community including advocating for housing as a human right, championing LGTBQ+ rights, and focusing on the intersections of poverty, child welfare, and racism. The Law Center is thrilled to honor Representative Lee's efforts to make a difference for unhoused Americans through the introduction of several bills championing comprehensive homelessness and affordable housing strategies, including co-sponsoring the Housing for All Act of 2022.
