Worried about an eviction?
You have options,
and we're here to help.
Stay Housed OC is an online tool to helpOrange County, CA renters and landlords understand their rights and responsibilities to prevent an eviction.
StayHousedOC.org is a joint project of the OC Eviction Diversion Collaborative, led by Orange County United Way. The Collaborative partner organizations provide services such as rental assistance, financial coaching, and job training. We also connect with local experts that offer free legal help and mediation services to eligible tenants who are currently going through the eviction process.
How Evictions Work
Most people don’t think about the legal eviction process until they’re facing an eviction. The process can seem overwhelming and even scary.
If rent and other necessities have become hard to pay for due to job loss, illness, or reduced work hours, you may not be able to afford a lawyer. We have good news: In Orange County, there is a growing network of support that can help you!
