NCSC’s Eviction Diversion Initiative (EDI) is a four-year grant program that offers state and local courts an opportunity to transform their eviction dockets by implementing eviction diversion programs and related court improvements.
Each EDI site received grant funding and technical assistance to design and implement an eviction diversion program with an emphasis on using the court process to connect litigants with the time, information, and resources necessary to resolve their housing disputes in a less harmful manner.
As part of the grant, each site collected data to better understand the demographics, circumstances, and goals of court users and to see how diversion programs could shape their court experiences and outcomes.
In this final session of the Civil Diversion Webinar Series, learn more about the work happening through the EDI grant program and some of the preliminary findings about its transformative impact.
Panelists:
- Samira Nazem, Principal Court Management Consultant, National Center for State Courts
- Neil Steinkamp, Managing Director, Stout Risius Ross, LLC
