Participants will include DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond, Congressman Hank Johnson, DeKalb County Chief Operating Officer Zachary Williams, and DeKalb County Clerk of State and Magistrate Courts Javoyne Hicks.

The virtual town hall meeting will provide a chance for DeKalb County tenants who might be facing eviction and landlords who have filed a dispossessory warrant to learn about how they can get eviction relief from DeKalb County.

“We know that the eviction moratorium is coming to an end in DeKalb County and we want to do our part to keep residents in their homes,” Davis Johnson said in a press release. “I am personally inviting all District 5 tenants and landlords who are interested, to join us at this important meeting.”

District five covers the southeastern corner of the county, including Lithonia, Stonecrest and Redan.

Correction: An earlier version incorrectly stated the commissioner’s last name in the headline. The story has been updated with the correct information.
