An eviction can make finding your next home more difficult – but it doesn’t mean your path to stable housing ends there.

In this episode of Eviction Stories & Steps, Circles Cobb Executive Director Barbara Garner talks with Kevin Pounds, Executive Director of Bridge Communities, about finding housing and beginning to rebuild after an eviction.

They explore options that may be available to renters with an eviction in their history, including second-chance housing opportunities, as well as ways nonprofit and community organizations may be able to help advocate for individuals and families navigating housing barriers.

The conversation also looks at the longer-term work of moving forward – repairing credit, rebuilding rental history, connecting with community support and taking steps toward greater housing stability.

If you or someone you know is trying to find housing after an eviction, know that an eviction does not have to define what comes next. Understanding your options, asking for help and connecting with the right resources can be important first steps toward rebuilding.

Eviction Stories & Steps from Circles Cobb brings together people with lived experience and community experts to help Cobb County residents better understand eviction, find resources and know what steps they can take before, during and after an eviction.
