SUMMARY:AI in Affordable Housing and Community Development Law: Practical Applications and Ethical Implications.
DESCRIPTION:The ABA Affordable Housing and Community Development Forum presents : AI in Affordable Housing and Community Development Law: Practical Applications and Ethical Implications. \nThis webinar panel will discuss and showcase how attorneys are using AI in real-world affordable housing practice\, covering tools for drafting\, deal management\, and research\, alongside a discussion of several ethical considerations. The goal is for attendees to leave with practical insights and strategies on available tools\, how to integrate them into their daily work\, and how to use them responsibly and effectively. \nThursday\, November 13\, 2025; 12:30–1:45 p.m. ET \nProgram description: This second session in our AI CLE series moves beyond theory to show how AI can help transactional housing lawyers work faster and smarter while staying within professional-responsibility guardrails. We will share practical workflows for common tasks in affordable housing and community development matters and discuss how to implement firm-safe practices that protect client confidentiality\, improve quality control\, and lift team capacity. Attendees will leave with concrete ideas they can pilot the next day. \nAbout the Panelists: \nKatherine B. Forrest\, Partner at Paul\, Weiss and Chair of the firm’s Artificial Intelligence Group\, is a nationally recognized leader at the intersection of law and technology. A former U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York and Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the DOJ’s Antitrust Division\, Katherine brings unmatched expertise on AI regulation\, litigation\, and policy.

SUMMARY:2025 PACDC Equitable Development Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Like many cities\, Philadelphia has seen an increase in investor purchases of homes. This has been shown to lead to increases in both rental and homeownership housing costs as apartments are rented at the highest rate the market will sustain\, and single-family homes are less available for homebuyers. Investor-owned homes have also been correlated with higher rates of blight and code violations\, which harm both tenants and the broader community. \nThis symposium will focus on what this looks like in Philadelphia\, what can be learned from other cities\, and what to expect for the future\, given changes at the federal\, state\, and local levels. The symposium will also explore solutions that would increase local control of housing and preserve affordability. \nRHLS and PACDC work together on issues related to housing and community development in Philadelphia. RHLS is a member organization of PACDC\, and Dina Schlossberg\, our Executive Director\, sits on their Board of Directors. Many PACDC members are also RHLS clients. \nRegister for the symposium.
