Eviction Diversion Program Training

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER. ATTENDEES WILL RECEIVE A LINK NO LATER THAN THE MORNING OF THE PROGRAM.

This virtual 2-hour program will prepare attendees to serve as volunteer mediators for Philadelphia’s Eviction Diversion Program (EDP). The EDP provides an opportunity for landlords and tenants to participate in (free) telephonic mediation before an eviction complaint is filed. The program will provide background information as well as important updates on how EDP has evolved during and after the Covid pandemic; consequently, this training will be useful for both new and existing volunteers.

Panelists will address the following topics among others:

  • Background on Evictions in Philadelphia
  • Basics of Landlord-Tenant Law
  • The Eviction Process, Step-by-Step
  • Legislation Affecting Evictions in Philadelphia
  • The Eviction Diversion Program (EDP)

This program is best suited for individuals with some knowledge of or experience with mediation, but it is open to all. Volunteer form will be included in the course materials.  Please choose appropriate registration option.

CLE is administered and provided by the Philadelphia Bar Association.
