How Five Cities Tackled Eviction Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

The United States was facing a housing crisis long before the COVID-19 pandemic one driven by high rental costs, a shrinking availability of quality housing, wage stagnation that has particularly challenged renter households and racial inequities embedded within the housing system. With evictions as one outcome of this crisis, pre-pandemic statistics estimate that one out of every 20 renters face an eviction each year, with the rate for Black renters more dire at one out of every 11 households. The long-lasting and damaging effects of eviction, and its disproportionate impact on low-income Black, Latinx, and Asian households, have only been exacerbated by the economic slowdown, surge in unemployment and health crisis resulting from the current pandemic.
