Abstract: The evaluation of the Eviction Protection Grant Program will be conducted using a mixed-methods and multi-phase approach designed to understand how grantees implemented this new program and to assess the effectiveness of the grant program in supporting low-income families at risk of or facing eviction through the provision of legal assistance at no-cost to eligible households. The evaluation is comprised of an implementation analysis utilizing qualitative and quantitative data to understand how the Eviction Protection Grant Program reduces or prevents eviction among program participants. The evaluation will comprehensively document the implementation of the Eviction Protection Grant Program, including a review and collection of data to understand successes and challenges to program implementation, the characteristics of grantees and other stakeholders, the types of client services provided, how grantees work with other social service providers, and program outcomes.
