Evictions
Eviction comes with a heavy price tag because it leaves a detrimental judgment on an individual credit for 7 years. This detrimental judgment ruins the chances of redemption in finding suitable safe housing for families. Evictions has caused homelessness in Collin County and it impacts children’s learning ability in the classrooms. As of last year, Collin County ISD reported close to 2,000 homeless students.
The Eviction Diversion Protectors was created out of a problem that exist in the United States and Collin County. Evictions occurs in Collin County every Tuesday and Thursday at an alarming rate. An increase in the homeless population in Collin has been attributed to evictions.
