The Law Center is thrilled to announce U.S. Representative Maxwell Frost as our 2024 Bruce F. Vento Award Recipient! Congressmember Frost has been a fierce advocate for unhoused Americans and compassionately shared how his struggle with homelessness and housing insecurity has influenced his work. Frosts’ support was critical in expanding the movement to end homelessness when the Supreme Court took up Johnson v. Grants Pass. He also works tirelessly on behalf of renters’ rights, disaster preparedness, and in so many other areas of human and civil rights. For all these reasons and more, we are excited to celebrate U.S. Representative Frost at this year’s Human Right to Housing Awards on Monday November 18th.
