Community Mediation Grants / Office of Collaboration and Dispute Resolution [OCDR] Community Mediation Grants How does OCDR support mediation services in the community? The Office of Collaboration and Dispute Resolution has a broad mandate to support free and low-cost mediation to Minnesotans across the state.
During mediation, a neutral third party assists people in a conflict to have difficult conversations and find solutions that help them move forward. Mediation can be an alternative to resolving disputes through the courts.
Community dispute resolution programs (CDRPs) Some community mediation programs are certified by the Minnesota Supreme Court for abiding by Minnesota Statute 494 and its operational guidelines to become designated CDRPs. There are six CDRPs in Minnesota that meet these requirements. These programs provide mediation services as well as training and skill-building, restorative practices services, and facilitated dialogues.

CDRPs routinely serve people living in over half of Minnesota's 87 counties. Some common disputes that CDRPs address include those involving property owners and tenants, agreements between divorcing or never-married parents, and neighbor disputes. The Office of Collaboration and Dispute Resolution (OCDR) administers a biennial grant program to support CDRPs.
