EVICTION MEDIAITION PROGRAM | DISPUTE RESOLUTION INSTITUTE

Offers to help people going through a residential eviction. The goal is to help families find a way to stay in the rental unit, or exit with dignity and to help reduce the number of court cases that would otherwise go through a lengthy eviction process. If you receive a summons to go to court for an eviction and would like to try to resolve your case through mediation, please contact our office. Unless ordered by a judge, mediation is voluntary for both sides.
