Lawyer David Eby lives in Vancouver and works full time for the legal advocacy
group the Pivot Legal Society on Pivot's Housing and Policing Campaigns. The author
of The Arrest Handbook: A Guide to Your Rights, and co-lead author of Pivot's
report Cracks in the Foundation: Solving the Low-Income Housing Crisis in Canada's
Poorest Neighbourhood, David's advocacy work with Pivot has contributed to: the
biggest provincial social housing investment in Vancouver in over 10 years; 91
recommendations from a provincial auditor for reform of the complaints process
under the Police Act in British Columbia; tightening of bylaws preventing the
conversion of low-income rental housing to condominiums; and the resurrection
of a long unused City of Vancouver power to repair rental buildings that are neglected
and bill those repairs to the building's owners.
