Description:

Join us on I'll Allow It Nevada as we welcome Judge Kendra Bertschy of the Reno Justice Court to discuss the city’s innovative eviction diversion program and the Housing Court’s role in its implementation. Judge Bertschy explains how the program works, the criteria for participation, and the collaborative effort between courts and community partners to support both tenants and landlords.

We also explore how wraparound services are helping prevent eviction, promote stability, and connect Nevadans with the resources they need to stay housed.
