QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY — Representatives from Quinnipiac Law’s Homelessness Mitigation Mediation Project and their counterparts from other law schools attended the meeting. The discussion focused on the results of Merrick’s call for action to law schools to aid housing stability in their communities. In response, the law schools committed to using their available resources to liaison with outside legal services providers and community outreach groups in order to promote housing stability, an arena particularly shaken by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Department of Justice’s call came in August 2021, six months after Quinnipiac Law began work with the Connecticut Department of Housing and other contracted partners to keep people stably housed and help landlords stay afloat, said adjunct law professor, director of the Mediation Clinic and Homelessness Mitigation Mediation Project executive director Brendan Holt. The resulting mediation group is called UniteCT.
