The Nashville Conflict Resolution Center is working with clients to battle a looming eviction crisis, Tennessee Lookout reports. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered a ban on evictions nationwide through Dec. 31, but cases are already starting to fill up the courts. Daily, representatives from the center are at the Davidson County Courthouse to help those facing eviction with financial assistance, legal documents and mediation with landlords. But even for those who receive a reprieve on rent, they still accrue debt, fines and late fees. Starting Jan. 1, 2021, they will be facing “huge debt” the group says.
