 * Laura, just go ahead and work on the article in your userspace. Nobody has been actively editing this article for over a year, and prior to that, the only content building was made with a conflict of interest by employees of the NLCHP. If any employees approach you with questions on your edits, please let me know. Also, make sure to provide a section heading (if one doesn't already exist), along with your signature when you post on talk pages. I'm here if you have questions. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 10:31, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Accomplishments/Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act
As much as I can determine, the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act "sun-set" on the first of this year, or perhaps the first of 2014. I can't find online reference to it (Although I'm fairly certain it was a part of Dow-Franks). Can anyone nail this down? Terry Thorgaard (talk) 17:31, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Media Coverage
"In 1986, Maria Foscarinis was featured in a New York Times article, focusing on her work in the National Coalition for the Homeless. A couple of years later, Maria founded the National Law Center and the LA Times wrote a major piece about her decision to leave her corporate law job and found an organization to combat homelessness.  Maria has been featured in 2 NPR articles, one of which was an interview focusing on panhandling legislation across the country and the other article discussing the criminalization of homelessness.  Maria has also been quoted in a TIME article about violence against homeless people and interviewed by Invisible People.
