Preventing evictions protects families from the traumas of experiencing homelessness and aids them in more swiftly regaining stability. During the pandemic, we received nearly $14M in funding to specifically assist households financially impacted by the pandemic and at-risk of eviction. This is nearly 200X the funding Lighthouse has received in the past for eviction prevention services.
Across all eviction prevention programs, Lighthouse assisted 164 households in preventing their eviction and maintaining their housing in 2023.
