This document describes CMS’s process for providing Tenant-Landlord mediation services on-site daily at Franklin County Municipal Court during scheduled eviction hearings. This process begins with identifying the geographic area’s need for eviction prevention services and ends with the case follow-up procedure necessary to determine the longer term impact of mediated eviction-prevention related agreements. This document is directed to other non-profit organizations interested in developing a similar program in their geographic area.
