A landlord contacted a local Dispute Resolution Center about a tenant that was very behind on rent. The tenant was an immigrant. The landlord had also immigrated and did not want to evict the tenant because the landlord knows how hard it is to make ends meet. The DRC was able to help the tenant secure six months of rent assistance. The landlord burst into tears, grateful to not lose a tenant and to assure that the landlord would be able to keep up with property expenses.

I read the story about the landlord who started crying when rental help came through and it really shows how much support can mean for people trying to keep housing stable for everyone. When I was stressed with my own deadlines last term I used online assignment help UK to stay organised so I could think straight while learning about support programs like rent relief and mediation services that help both renters and landlords work things out together. It made me realise how important good support can be in hard times.

This story really touched me—the landlord’s reaction shows how much a little help can mean during tough times. It’s amazing to see communities coming together like this. For those wanting to share such heartfelt stories, book printing services in Canada make it easy to create and distribute books that capture these powerful moments. Thanks for sharing this inspiring example of kindness.

Why DRC mediation?

DRCs reduce the burdens of the courts, saving taxpayers money, and increasing access to justice for traditionally underserved populations. In 2025 DRCs completed statewide 5,779 mediation and dispute resolution cases, 57% of which reached agreements. 85% of clients reported mediation improved their situation. DRCs trained 26,175 community members in 2025.

Annually DRCs utilize over $1.6 million worth of volunteer hours and directly serve over 87,500 people, their families and others whose lives are positively affected by mediation and other services and reach out to Washington residents statewide.
