Legal Hand Bronx on May 29 hosted a housing justice technology workshop titled “Just Fix,” named after the nonprofit that builds free tools for tenants to exercise their rights to a livable home.

The workshop, held at the new Legal Hand Bronx location at 3213A Third Ave., featured a presentation from Andrianelys Parra, Legal Hand Bronx’s program associate, who spoke to attendees about the ways that they can exercise their rights as tenants. Attendees were shown on the Just Fix website how to uncover the identity of their landlord’s, fight for their tenants rights, connect with neighbors dealing with the same issues and more.
