While we cannot take an official position on legislation, after careful study our group is deeply concerned about the ERP. Our view is independent of the predominant purpose of the various bills, which amount to a wholesale re-write of the RLTA. A mediation provision simply should not be part of legislation filled with policy decisions that in some cases are highly partisan. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The ERP was cooked up by Resolution Washington (the DRCs), the King County Bar Association Housing Justice Project, and the Courts. Many community stakeholders who should have been part of the planning process were systematically cut out of it, including small investor landlords, nonprofit affordable housing providers, and experts in contemporary dispute resolution processes. The way ERP was contrived corrupts the delivery of services. It is not a neutral process. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The ERP is also handled differently in every county, dependent on the make up of the local DRC. That makes consistency of service impossible. The eviction crisis, in both residential and commercial settings, can only be managed fairly and efficiently through a centralized system. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Since 2017, ADR Section leadership have been calling for the creation of streamlined technology-enhanced mediation to prevent eviction that leads to homelessness. These efforts have been thwarted by the DRCs and the HJP, with their particular agendas. The courts have unwittingly enabled them, to the extreme detriment of Washington residents.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Let your voices be heard.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span style="color: rgb(91, 91, 91);" class="">Roger A.
