The Family Resource Collective’s Eviction Defense Collaborative is an alliance between Community Bridges, Tenant Sanctuary, Senior Legal Services, and the Conflict Resolution Center of Santa Cruz County, created as a lifeline for distressed tenants and landlords.
The Eviction Defense Collaborative operates from the Family Resource Collective sites throughout Santa Cruz County. It offers a range of critical services to prevent legal evictions, ease the burden on vulnerable residents, and support landlords in what sometimes may feel like an adversarial process.
Call 831-288-2148 for more information or if you need assistance.
Here’s a snapshot of the essential services provided by the Collaborative’s partner organizations:
Tenant Sanctuary: Offers free tenants’ rights counseling and assists tenants in demanding that landlords adhere to the rules. They hold walk-in office hours at Live Oak Community Resources every Wednesday and one-on-one phone counseling sessions with referrals.
Conflict Resolution Center of Santa Cruz County (CRC): Provides free mediation services for various tenant-landlord disputes, including home repairs, rent increases, evictions, and unsanitary conditions. CRC holds walk-in office hours at La Manzana Community Resources every Thursday.
Senior Legal Services (SLS): Offers free legal case evaluation, document preparation, and potential legal representation to tenants served with evictions (unlawful detainers). SLS plays a crucial role in negotiating move-out agreements that mitigate the long-term impacts of court-ordered evictions. Given the time-sensitive nature of these cases, SLS responds to referrals promptly through our case referral process. They hold office hours at La Manzana every Monday.
