Eviction Prevention Act: Free Legal Aid and National Data Collection.

This Act aims to reduce evictions by authorizing grants for states and localities to provide full, free legal representation to low-income individuals facing housing loss. It also mandates the creation of a comprehensive national database to track all types of evictions, including demographic details and case outcomes, ensuring greater transparency in the housing system. This provides a crucial benefit to vulnerable tenants by leveling the playing field in court proceedings.
Key points
Right to Counsel: Low-income tenants (below 125% of the Federal poverty level) will gain access to free legal representation in civil eviction cases through federal grant funding.
National Eviction Database: A new federal database will collect detailed information on court-ordered, administrative, and illegal evictions, including tenant demographics and reasons for housing loss.
Increased Transparency: The data collection will help policymakers understand eviction patterns, identify vulnerable populations, and assess the effectiveness of legal representation.
