CARE Interview

Welcome to the CARE (Court Assisted Recovery from Eviction) Interview. This interview helps people in El Paso County navigate their way through eviction resources. If you answer a few questions about your situation, we can connect you with assistance programs, mediation services, or other helpful guidance that is available right here in our community. We cannot give you legal advice, but we will share information to help you find the right kind of support.
