The Housing and Development Law Institute (HDLI) is a nationwide non-profit membership organization that serves as a legal resource for public housing agencies and their counsel.  HDLI is the only national organization solely addressing the legal, rather than the policy or administrative, issues facing public housing and redevelopment agencies.  

HDLI conducts in-person and virtual Continuing Legal Education (CLE) conferences and other educational activities, provides on-site legal training for housing agencies, hosts an active and award-winning List Serve for members, publishes an index to HUD regulations, and serves as a friend of the court, or amicus, in appropriate cases of national interest.
