• 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.

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)

Some are trivial mentions, some are churnalism stuff

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. The Law Center has been featured in the New York Times, Washington post, Street Sense, Daily Kos and The Contributor: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/21/us/portland-maine-panhanders-jobs.html (trivial coverage)

Outdated Sources

The third sources in the article goes to the current staff page for the NHLC which does not mention Maria Foscarinis or the NHLC's role in the McKinney Act. So, the current source is unrelated to the article and the claims in the article are unsupported. Tahititay15 (talk) 14:46, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
