Welcome

The Durham Evictions Mapping Project tells the story of housing insecurity and eviction in Durham during the COVID-19 pandemic as experienced by clients of the Durham Eviction Diversion Program. The project invites you to listen to our clients. Our neighbors speak to what home means to them, how their city has changed, and how the Durham Eviction Diversion Program has worked with them to ensure that all people have a permanent place to call home.

In spring 2021, the Durham Eviction Diversion Program launched a new rental assistance fund to help our neighbors who often fall outside the scope of government-based aid, including those living in motels and boarding houses. All donations to the new fund will help your neighbors in need achieve housing security. To date, we have raised more than $47,000.
