Launched in 2020 as the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project, CEDP was formed to keep our neighbors housed during the pandemic. Working with clients, we built a “continuum care” approach to eviction prevention that centers the legal and financial needs of housing-insecure families and uses a variety of tools to keep them housed.
Our team now serves more than 1,200 households per month. CEDP brings together housing lawyers, economists, data analysts, policy-experts, organizers, and technologists to serve our clients, distributing between $7M and $10M of assistance each month. Our model has been cited as a best practice by the White House, HUD, the Urban Institute, and in the media.
In recent months, CEDP has further expanded its integrated services model to include mortgage foreclosure, predatory towing, and debt collection. Similar to CEDP’s work on rental housing, these efforts offer a continuum of care that includes navigation and advisory services, targeted payments, legal support, and the ability to participate in advocacy. To further improve financial access for clients, CEDP will be launching a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) in the months ahead, allowing the organization to offer affordable financial services to clients alongside its current suite of benefits and services.
