During this series of workshops, our team’s goal is to inform tenants and landlords about their duties and rights, ensuring fair practices and protections are in place for both.

Our eviction prevention work began as a simple idea: what if we could keep people housed by preventing an eviction, keeping people housed for another month and getting at the root cause of most homelessness?

In many ways, it was a grand experiment…

“My family and I were evicted just a few years after we moved to the United States. I was around 8 years old, maybe younger, and it was traumatic. You don't forget those things…”

Someone was crying.

It’s not a sound we typically hear around our office, but the quiet sobs were unmistakable.
