Center unveils $10M grant to improve housing stability
The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) recently announced it has received a $10 million grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation to strengthen eviction diversion efforts in state courts and improve housing stability.
Michigan and seven other states are the beneficiaries of the Wells Fargo Foundation grant and NCSC’s Eviction Diversion Initiative.
Courts were selected for the program through a competitive application process reviewed by a panel that included state supreme court chief justices, state court administrators and a Wells Fargo Foundation representative.
Each court will use the grant funding to hire dedicated staff to implement holistic, sustainable, and community-driven strategies for resolving eviction problems.
