HOMELESS PERSONS REPRESENTATION PROJECT, INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2009 3

Mission and Vision

HPRP’s mission is to end homelessness in Maryland by providing free legal services, including advice, counsel, education, representation and advocacy, for low-income persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Our staff and volunteers pursue this mission by offering legal services through outreach in shelters, soup kitchens, welfare offices, community centers, and on the street. Our direct representation informs broader-based systemic advocacy and impact litigation to address the root causes of homelessness.

HPRP envisions an end to homelessness in Maryland.

A Message From Our LeadersDear Friends:Fiscal Year 2010 presented us with a reminder of the tremendous need for the work of all homeless services providers, including the Homeless Persons Representation Project (HPRP). In June 2010, the federal government reported that homelessness in Maryland has increased 26%, demonstrating that the economic crisis has not relinquished its hold on the most vulnerable members of our society. HPRP is equipped to respond to the legal needs of this population to obtain basic life necessities, such as food, housing, and income supports.

As you will read inside, HPRP built upon the goals established in its 2009 Strategic Plan (available at www.hprplaw.org) to expand its ability to respond to rising homeless-ness by increasing the number of volunteers providing pro bono legal service to HPRP clients, raising and diversifying funding sources, and expanding advocacy efforts. During the Fiscal Year, HPRP’s volunteer base increased from 188 to 309 attorneys, paralegals, and law students; and its housing unit doubled with new federal funding for eviction defense.

You will learn that HPRP devoted resources to help low-income families obtain critical public benefits, including food stamps. In collaboration with the Public Justice Center, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, and the National Center for Law and Economic Justice, HPRP obtained a court order in December 2009, finding that the State of Maryland Department of Human Resources had engaged in a pattern and practice of violating federal and state laws regarding the timely distribution of public benefits, including food stamps. HPRP staff and volunteers also recovered over $50,000 in back public benefit awards for homeless and low-income families and individuals as part of their direct representation efforts.

You will also read about HPRP’s Linda Kennedy Fellowship in Advocacy, a year-long fellowship created in honor of the late Linda Kennedy, Esq. for a law student to pursue systemic solutions to homelessness. Recognizing that domestic violence is the second leading cause of family homelessness, the inaugural fellow and HPRP staff were part of the Safe Homes Coalition which drafted and saw passage of legislation, sponsored by Baltimore City Delegate Cheryl D. Glenn, to protect the housing rights of victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Lastly, HPRP continued its efforts to diversify its funding sources. HPRP’s Second Annual Campaign to End Homelessness successfully raised $71,245, with the generous assistance of a dynamic Campaign Committee chaired by Arnold M. Weiner.

Thank you for all you do – whether as a donor, volunteer, or friend – to support HPRP and help us achieve an end to homelessness.

Sincerely,

Antonia K. Fasanelli, Esq. Irving E. Walker, Esq.Executive Director Board President


HPRP could not have touched the lives of so many individuals this year without its talented and dedicated volunteer lawyers, paralegals, law students and others. In 2010, volunteers donated over 4092 hours of service to HPRP and its clients, including over 3781 hours, valued at

$1,598,427, donated by attorneys.

In 2010, HPRP continued the strong development of its pro bono program. HPRP increased its number of volunteers from 188 to 309. These volunteers opened 382 legal matters, an increase over the 371 matters opened by volunteers during the previous fiscal year.

HPRP reorganized its Montgomery County intake program, refocusing legal services on core issues affecting the root causes of homelessness and adding expungement and veterans’ benefits representation to the services available at the site.

On April 19, 2010, HPRP held its annual volunteer appreciation at The Univer-sity of Baltimore School of Law, whose generous sponsorship helped to make the event possible. Awardees in the following categories were presented with artwork created by residents of The Helping Up Mission, one of HPRP’s intake locations.

Case and Program Highlights

CASE BY TYPE

HPRP opened 618 cases and closed 511 cases. These cases constitute matters in which HPRP staff or vol-unteers represented people struggling with homeless-ness in legal disputes to prevent or end homelessness. HPRP also received 671 calls where brief advice, information, or referral was given. These calls reflect the “unmet” need because of insufficient resources or other reasons.

CASE BY LEVEL OF SERVICE


HOUSING As provided in Baltimore City’s 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness, The Journey Home, “[l]egal representation for low-income renters is a key strategy for preventing homelessness.” The 10-Year Plan set a goal of expanding legal representation for persons at imminent risk of becoming homeless and specifically identified HPRP as one such organization that could aid in the effort. Therefore, consistent with the 10-Year Plan’s goals, HPRP doubled its capacity to represent extremely low-income renters facing loss of housing. HPRP, the Legal Aid Bureau, and the Public Justice Center successfully collaborated on proposals for funding through the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program of the U.S. Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Development to provide a continuum of legal services on eviction prevention in Baltimore City. HPRP’s role in the collaboration is to provide direct representation to families and individuals in subsidized housing facing eviction or subsidy loss.

ACCESS TO PUBLIC BENEFITSHPRP Staff, in collaboration with co-counsel—the Public Justice Center, the National Center for Law and Economic Justice, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP—obtained an Order from the Circuit Court of Baltimore City in December 2009 finding that Maryland State’s Department of Human Resources (DHR) engaged in a pattern and practice of violating federal and state laws regarding timely processing of applications for Food Stamps, Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF), and Medicaid. The Court held that DHR is required to achieve full compliance with federal and state laws, which provide for processing of applications within 30 days, within 12 months.

VETERANS’ BENEFITS PROJECTHPRP expanded its Veterans’ Benefits Project, Maryland’s only free legal service program representing veterans in claims for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, to offer representation at its Montgomery County intake location in addition to its Baltimore City locations. In collaboration with the Veterans’ Affairs and Military Law Committee of the Maryland State Bar Association, the Pro Bono Resource Center, and the University of Maryland School of Law, HPRP also held the second state-wide conference on veterans issues in Maryland on April 1, 2010 at the University of Maryland School of Law with The Honorable Lawrence B. Hagel, Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, as the keynote speaker.


Domestic violence is the second leading cause of family homelessness. To reduce the number of victims of domestic violence who are evicted from rental housing due to violence in the home and to limit the liability facing victims who, for safety reasons, must leave their rental units mid-lease term, HPRP was pleased to be a part of the Safe Homes Coalition, convened by the University of Baltimore School of Law Civil Advocacy and Family Law Clinics, which included domestic violence and housing advocates who wrote and successfully urged passage of legislation before the General Assembly that offers protection to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in housing. The legislation, which became effective October 1, 2010, provides three levels of protection: 1) an eviction defense to protect victims from eviction because of an incidence of domestic violence; 2) an early lease termination provision; and 3) a lock change protocol.

Policy & Advocacy

On May 4, 2010, Governor Martin O’Malley signed into law HB1382/SB554 Rental Housing - Protection for Victims of

Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.

Representatives from the Safe Homes Coalition, which included organizations such as the Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence, House of Ruth, Women’s Law Center, HPRP, Legal Aid Bureau, and the Civic Advocacy and Family Law Clinics at the

University of Baltimore, joined the House bill’s sponsor and champion, Delegate Cheryl D. Glenn, for the bill signing with Lieutenant Governor Anthony G. Brown, Senate

President Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr., Governor Martin O’Malley, House Speaker Michael E. Busch, and Senator Jennie M. Forehand.


Linda Kennedy Fellowship

records and resolve collateral issues related to criminal records. Linda’s deeply caring manner with which she addressed the needs of each client was special. The Linda Kennedy Fellowship in Advocacy provides a second or third year law student with an internship at HPRP to work on policy and systemic issues that promote an end to homelessness in Baltimore City and in Maryland.

The 2009 inaugural Linda Kennedy Fellow, Ingrid Löfgren was a third year student at the University of Maryland School of Law. Ingrid represented HPRP in two coalitions pursuing legislation before the 2010 Mary-land General Assembly, including the Safe Homes Coalition and a coalition of advocates working on legislation to prohibit discrimination against renters based on source of income. She worked closely with HPRP’s executive director, conducted research to support legislative efforts,

The Linda Kennedy Fellowship in Advocacy honors the late Linda Kennedy, Esq., a courageous and determined advocate for persons with disabilities and persons with-out housing. Linda was a champion for equal treatment of our clients and neighbors who struggle with homelessness. Her tireless work, particularly with people seeking to overcome barriers to housing and employ-ment imposed by criminal records, had a significant impact in our community. Linda provided critical representation to our clients in their efforts to expunge arrest

attended negotiation sessions and presented oral and written testimony on HPRP’s behalf in both the Senate and House of Delegates.
