The mission of the Homeless Prevention team is to keep individuals and families in their homes, regardless of whether those are their own houses or rentals, by preventing evictions and foreclosures.

The team defends people facing eviction and challenges predatory lending policies that result in foreclosures and loss of homes.

(The team's work overlaps with the work of the Home Foreclosure Team and the Private Landlord-Tenant Issues Team.)

TRLA representation is free, but there may be other related charges such as court fees.
