OKLAHOMA COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) — Nearly 200 hundred metro families have been threatened with losing their homes just days before Christmas.

Advocates said Oklahoma has one of the shortest windows when it comes to eviction cases. Right now, tenants only get a five day notice before their eviction hearing.

Advocates with Shelterwell, a group that helps tenants and landlords find stability, said the high number of people getting kicked out of their homes continues to grow.

“There’s no one else for people to go,” said Brad Senters, director of eviction prevention.

190 new eviction cases were heard in just Oklahoma County.
