Instead of threatening eviction, however, Natasha’s building manager did something
that, just a few years ago, wouldn’t have been an option in Philadelphia: She
referred Natasha to Philadelphia’s Eviction Diversion Program (EDP), a collaboration
between the City, legal support groups, housing counseling nonprofits, landlord
advocacy organizations and others. It helps tenants at risk of being evicted go
through mediation with their landlords to come up with a solution to keep people
housed - and landlords paid. | | ÉvincementsPhilly EDP Includes Targeted Financial Assistance (2023-01-31) The City of Philadelphia’s FREE Eviction Diversion Program (EDP) helps
landlords and tenants resolve disputes and avoid going to court. EDP
facilitates satisfactory and sustainable landlord-tenant agreements through

ÉvincementsPhilly Tenant - What Is The Eviction Diversion Program The Eviction Diversion Program can be good for tenants because attending
eviction court is often stressful and may end with you being evicted
AND getting a judgment on your record. Many landlords also want to
participate in the program to avoid paying costly attorney and filing fees,
attending hearings and evicting tenants. In addition, some tenants may
be eligible for Targeted Financial Assistance (TFA). | | LoisPhiladelphia Legislation - Eviction Diversion Program The Department of Planning and Development,
or such other City department or office as the Mayor may designate, is authorized to continue
operating a pre-filing residential eviction diversion program to facilitate dispute
resolution between landlords and tenants or acquisition of rental assistance, if available.
Landlords shall enroll in the eviction diversion program by completing an application or in
such other manner as directed by the Department.

each year, according to data compiled by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University.

| | AutreMedium - Opposition From NY-Based Attorney Groups “The Legal Aid Society and tenant attorney groups are showing their true colors.
Instead of working to reduce evictions, they want to perpetuate a system that
encourages more eviction filings in housing court,” CHIP Executive Director
Jay Martin said. “When 90 percent of housing court cases are brought by the
housing provider for non-payment, and the groups opposing ways to reduce that
number are tenant attorneys, it clearly shows they have no interest in lessening
the hardship for their clients for fear of reducing their own need.” |

including funding for eviction programs. | | ActualitéesNYT - How Philadelphia Kept Thousands Of Tenants From Being Evicted Under this program, if a tenant owes less than $3,000 in back rent, landlords must
try mediation in good faith before eviction. If after 30 days the two sides cannot
come to an agreement or a tenant has not shown up to mediation, the landlord can
go to court to enforce the eviction. The result seems to be a boon for both parties:
Tenants stay in their homes, while landlords are paid.
