Developed at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, CCLAHD is an innovative and nationally recognized partnership between the County, the Circuit Court of Cook County, The Chicago Bar Foundation, the Illinois Housing Development Authority, the City of Chicago, and many other government, legal, and community partners. A new, independent evaluation report by global advisory firm Stout will provide an in-depth assessment of the CCLAHD Early Resolution Program (ERP) for eviction and consumer debt. The report will demonstrate the impact CCLAHD has on making the court process fairer and more accessible for unrepresented residents and helping prevent disruptive displacements.
