Delaware State Housing Authority | Preventing Eviction for Low-Income Delawareans

In Delaware, over 5% of renters are evicted annually and there is an average of 14 eviction court filings per day. This means that roughly 16% of Delaware renters, or 1 out of every 6, face an eviction filing per year. Delaware’s Legal Aid organizations receive funding through DSHA's homelessness prevention tool, Home4Good, to support the Eviction Defense Program (EDP). The EDP directly addresses the justice gap many low-income Delawareans encounter when facing eviction.
