Paige Diem graduated from the University of New Mexico School of Law and was admitted to the practice of law in New Mexico in 2020. As a student, Ms. Diem found her passion for housing issues while completing the Southwest Indian Law Clinic program at the University of New Mexico School of Law. Ms. Diem worked on a project involving the Westside Emergency Housing Center in Albuquerque, giving brief legal advice to shelter residents under supervision. At that time, Ms. Diem also attended meetings for the Westside Emergency Housing Center which brought together health care providers, shelter directors, EMTs, representatives from shelters, and lawyers to work to resolve Albuquerque’s unhoused people’s access to care and housing issues. That experience opened her eyes to the complexities of homelessness and showed her an entire community passionate about finding solutions. Ms. Diem is excited to join the USBC team to defend against foreclosures as a staff attorney.
