An analysis of right to counsel ordinances in other states by Stout Risius Ross found dollars invested in the programs bring cost savings to cities that implemented them. Stout has estimated Detroit lost 24,000 residents after an eviction filing in the last decade. In total, Stout estimated the city of Detroit lost $28.7 million in economic value due to out-migration from evictions.
