This memorandum provides a status report on housing stabilization and eviction prevention efforts, particularly through the Eviction Help Center (EHC) and the Eviction Prevention Program (EPP). The EHC, launched in August 2021, aims to prevent evictions by assisting tenants and housing providers with federal emergency rental assistance and legal consultations. The EPP evolved from the EHC and focuses on coordinating with the Santa Clara County Superior Court to help resolve eviction cases. The report highlights the number of inquiries and legal consultations provided, the integration of programs, and funding received for eviction diversion efforts. It also includes demographic data on households served and outcomes from the Eviction Diversion and Settlement Program (EDS), indicating a majority of participants remained in their units post-assistance. The memorandum concludes with ongoing challenges in eviction data collection and future funding plans for continued support.
