Comments
"I know there is a lack of affordable housing but never really connected how many evictions there are to this fact. I wonder how society can work together on this problem."
"It's more than just not having the money. It's a loss of a safe place. I ... knew how bad the rental market was but it's even worse than I thought."
"I'm not sure I had much of a perspective on [eviction] to begin with, since I only know a bit from the brief reads on NPR's website, but I see now that the housing crisis of the last 2 decades continues to make life harder for lower-income and disabled folks."
"[I learned] so much. The difference from state to state. How women, people of color, and especially Black women are most impacted."
"Everything I read, saw, and listened to was something new for me to learn. I'm from an economically stable family who has benefited from generational wealth. Eviction is not something I or anyone in my immediate community has experienced. Housing is a human right! If wages don't keep pace with rental increases how is a renter supposed to avoid eviction."
