In November 2024, the City of Dayton, which had over 12,000 eviction filings in 2023 and where only 3% of tenants have access to representation, launched a pilot to expand tenant representation. As reported in the Dayton Daily News, the pilot is using $515,000 of funding from Blue Meridian Partners, the Dayton Legal Heritage Foundation of the Dayton Foundation and the Wright-Patt Credit Union Sunshine Fund. Initial eligibility is set to “northwest Dayton (zip codes 45405 and 45406) with a household income below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, pregnant or have children living in the home.” More information can be found from Learn to Earn Dayton.
The NCCRC has provided support to some of the Dayton stakeholders.
