Housing is about more than just having a roof over your head, but about stability, dignity, and peace of mind. Senate Bill 132 builds on those values by strengthening the state’s Right to Representation framework so tenants facing eviction or other housing disputes have access to legal help when they need it most.
This legislation ensures that families know their rights, that resources are available when challenges arise, and that the legal aid agencies doing this important work have the tools and support to continue serving Delaware communities. This also assists in building stronger transparency and accountability so the program can grow responsibly and sustainably over the years.
Introducing this legislation reaffirmed Senator Dan Cruce’s commitment to protecting vulnerable tenants, strengthening housing security, and ensuring that Delaware families have the tools they need to stay safely housed.
