This program is a voluntary program designed to assist landlords and tenants in resolving back-rent situations without a credit-damaging court judgement. The program is designed to prevent evictions by intervening before persons lose their home for non-payment of rent.

Landlords filing for evictions of their tenants for non-payment of rent will be provided with a referral form to Eviction Diversion, which they will then serve upon their tenant. Legal representation will be provided free of charge by attorneys from the Legal Aid & Defender Assoc-ation. Court cases will then be assigned to the Eviction Diversion Docket before the judge where the parties will sign an agreement to pre- vent entry of judgment and time to resolve financial issues.

If you are a resident of Wayne, Oakland or Macomb counties and believe you could benefit from our assistance, please call Mondays or Wednesdays between the hours of 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.
