A pilot program designed to help tenants facing eviction has gotten a boost thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
Known as the Access to Counsel Limited Representation Pilot Program, the initiative gives tenants a same-day attorney for their first cause eviction hearing. The attorney is part of the staff at Hamilton County Help Center which offers individuals assistance as they navigate the eviction process.
The Hamilton County Help Center is a partnership between the UC College of Law and the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts. It is located on the first floor of the Hamilton County Courthouse in downtown Cincinnati.
The impact of the pilot program and new grant was featured on Fox 19.
