HOW TO AVOID COVID-RELATED EVICTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Make your court date! Appearing in court on your scheduled date will allow you to request an extension, which is likely to be granted if you can demonstrate a COVID-related loss. This will provide you time to access housing assistance resources in an effort to stop an eviction.

How do you break the cycle of poverty and homelessness?
You educate children.
Homelessness and housing instability profoundly impacts the educational
progress for most children. We help our kids catch up to their peers.
"There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children."
