Spokane ~ Spokane City Council Votes to Expand Eviction Prevention Program
During the latest legislative session, Spokane City Council voted 5-2 in favor of the "Pathways to Eviction Prevention" ordinance. This new measure, sponsored by Council Members Paul Dillon and Kitty Klitzke, aims to expand the city's existing eviction prevention program in order to prevent homelessness, improve landlord-tenant relationships, and ensure safe and healthy rental housing in Spokane.
Council Member Dillon expressed his gratitude towards all stakeholders, staff, and fellow council members for their efforts in making this ordinance a reality. He hopes that this program will serve as a model for other cities to follow, as it benefits both tenants and landlords. With increasing housing insecurity, it is crucial to ensure that families have a roof over their heads.
The new ordinance will simplify the process for tenants to access eviction prevention funds and require landlords to provide written notice of all citywide eviction prevention programs at the time of leasing and during any service of a notice to pay or vacate. Additionally, an updated list of these programs will be available on the city's website for easy access by both tenants and landlords.

Council Member Klitzke shared her experience from interacting with community members over the past two years. She emphasized that investing in preventing homelessness is crucial and cost-effective. She also expressed her excitement about working with housing providers to prevent people from losing their homes when they could have utilized local programs.
The ordinance also establishes a more permanent eviction prevention program supported by the city's Community Health and Human Services (CHHS) department. This program will streamline access to state funding, rebuild landlord-tenant relationships, and connect tenants and landlords with service providers who can intervene early in the eviction process.
In conclusion, Spokane City Council's decision to expand the eviction prevention program is a significant step towards addressing homelessness in the city. By providing easier access to resources for both tenants and landlords, this measure aims to prevent evictions and promote stable housing for all residents.
