LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A program that aims to keep Southern Nevada residents in their homes is growing.
Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, Clark County, and the Las Vegas area Justice Courts say the Eviction Diversion Program (EDP) will expand to new jurisdictions starting Monday, Feb. 2.
The program’s goal is to prevent the eviction of seniors and people with disabilities.
The program began as a pilot in the Las Vegas Justice Court to provide eligible tenants and landlords with resources.

Because of its success, Nevada lawmakers earlier this year approved additional funding to expand EDP to Henderson and North Las Vegas.
The partnership will evaluate those facing eviction for long-term solutions. Eligible tenants and landlords can receive rental assistance while working with Clark County Social Services, and a lawyer from the Legal Aid Center will represent the tenants.
This program covers seniors 62 and older, and those who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits due to a disability. To qualify, applicants must be facing eviction for non-payment of rent and must file a tenant answer within the notice period.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
New eviction forms are available on the Civil Law Self-Help Center website.
