| [Media, Pennsylvania] -Unity
operates as an advisor to the tenant councils of housing
projects and provides assistance to them in insuring that
they receive the benefits to which they are entitled under
the Hope VI Funding that is being used to rebuild the
projects. The organization has very close relationship
with the Delaware County (Pa) Legal Assistance Association
located in Chester. Presently, Unity Inc., is in the
process of bringing the regulations to life. One of its
goals is to have its residents actively participate in the
rebuilding and operation of the projects with possible
involvement in ownership. Also, they are in the process of
establishing economic development corporations to recycle
finances within the community rather than siphoning them
to the suburbs. Involved students would gain excellent
experience with non-profit, inner city and federal funding
issues. Interns could work directly with Unity Center,
Inc. and Delaware County Legal Assistance by telephone and
computer rather than traveling to Pennsylvania. Work could
be done on weekends, during school breaks or during the
course of the semester.
Eligibility: All law students.
Schedule: To be arranged.
