Past Grants

Public Justice Center, Inc.

Toward the production and distribution of an educational film and written materials for use in District Court in support of tenants facing eviction. The educational material has been written and produced in consultation with the District Court, landlords, and tenants, to ensure accuracy and fairness, and will help interpret the court system to tenants. The goal is to reduce the number of tenant evictions and reduce the number of cases being processed through the system.

Associated Black Charities (ABC)
