(WXYZ) â The number of eviction cases filed between April and December 2020 decreased by 65% compared to cases filed during those months in 2019, according to researchers from the University of Michigan.
The Michigan Eviction Project reports that the percentage of cases resulting in eviction orders also dropped the pandemic. Additionally, the state s Eviction Diversion Program increased the number of tenants receiving legal assistance in eviction cases.
However, researchers said these trends could change if pandemic-era policies and programs wind down.
The findings come from a new report â Reducing Michigan Evictions: The Pandemic and Beyond. The report follows the Michigan Eviction Project s comprehensive review of evictions in Michigan, released in 2020.
