NEW PROGRAM!
Office of Eviction Defense
Law Department 
2 Woodward Ave. Suite 500 
Detroit, MI 48226
Website: https://detroitmi.gov/departments/law-department/office-eviction-defense
How will the program work?
Under the ordinance, the program offers legal representation in 36th District Court for people 
below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines — or a person making $29,160 or less in 2023-- 
facing eviction or involved in other proceedings that threatens the loss of a home, such as 
mortgage and property tax foreclosures.
&
The plan is for tenants to connect with attorneys at their first hearing through the end of a case, 
but the goal is to be more proactive with outreach in order to connect people with services sooner. 
To determine eligibility, the nonprofit United Community Housing Coalition--the program vendor--
will request documentation of income.
&
When the ordinance passed in May, Detroit joined 14 other cities and three states that offer legal 
representation for tenants in eviction proceedings, according to the National Coalition for a Civil 
Right to Counsel.
