Gideon Anders Receives the Legal Aid Association of California 2009 Attorney Award of Merit
In June of 2009, the Legal Aid Association of California (LAAC) presented Gideon Anders, NHLP’s former executive director and currently senior staff attorney, with LAAC’s 2009 Award of Merit. LAAC’s selection acknowledges Gideon’s leadership as an advocate for the rural poor in California and nationally. The award was presented to Gideon at LAAC’s Annual Legal Services Stakeholders Meeting in Los Angeles, CA.
Over the course of his 31-year career with NHLP, Gideon has successfully spearheaded landmark legal battles that have protected homeowners against foreclosures and preserved thousands of affordable rural rental homes throughout the country and protected countless numbers of rural California families from displacement. He is renowned nationally for his work upholding the right to housing for rural immigrant families and low-income farm workers. Gideon is widely-respected for his expertise in the housing programs of the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Rural Development housing program, formerly known as Rural Housing Services (RHS). He has testified numerous times before the United States Congress, providing advice and expertise on strategies for housing the rural poor under the federally-assisted housing programs.
While retired as NHLP’s executive director, Gideon continues to work on rural housing issues.
