This was still well below the 1,500 new filings for an average month prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. 4.5 percent of the 643 landlords that filed new evictions accounted for 38.6 percent of the 1,731 new evictions during the 3-month period. 68.7 percent of the filing landlords (442) submitted a single eviction filing (25.5 percent of all evictions). In 83 percent of filings, landlords were represented in court—either by an attorney (21%) or a Form 50 agent (62%).Item Homelessness Among People on Delaware's Sex Offender Registry(Center for Community Development & Family Policy; Biden School of Public Policy and Adminstration; University of Delaware, 2022-04) Metraux, Stephen; Modeas, AlexanderItem Prior Evictions Among People Experiencing Homelessness in Delaware(Delaware Journal of Public Health, 2022-08) Metraux, Stephen; Mwangi, Olivia; McGuire, JamesEviction is frequently a precursor to homelessness. This is an exploratory study that looks at a group of homeless adults who stayed in Delaware homeless shelters in 2019 and the extent by which their homelessness is preceded by an eviction filing. Specifically, we match records of homeless shelter use with records from a court-based database of eviction filings, both in Delaware, to determine the frequency and correlates of prior eviction among adults staying in Delaware shelter and/or transitional housing facilities in 2019. Results show that 21 percent of the people in the study group had records of eviction filings in the 2-year period prior to initial homeless services use. Recent history of eviction filings was much more prevalent among study group members who were homeless with their children (i.e., with families), who were Black, and/or who were female. These findings are consistent with prior research and demonstrate the potential of interventions designed to mitigate eviction to also reduce homelessness, especially among families with children.
