“Eviction has immense collateral consequences,” said Debbie Reznick senior program officer at Polk Bros. Foundation, which is funding the Chicago Bar Foundation’s evaluation, in a statement. “The displacement and instability caused by the eviction process can exacerbate physical and mental health issues, disrupt children’s educations, impact job performance, and ultimately lead to illness, unemployment, and homelessness. Learnings from the evaluation of the Right to Counsel pilot program will inform efforts to expand and sustain legal representation and other supportive services for tenants facing eviction.”
