We are a team based at Stanford Law School (at the Legal Design Lab) who have been researching recent efforts to address the eviction crisis. This website grows out of our research and is an ongoing project that we welcome your contributions to.
We are also working with the National League of Cities on the recently concluded Eviction Prevention Cohort and now on the Eviction Prevention Learning Lab.
