Navigating Eviction and Financial Hardship

This chapter explores the challenges of housing instability through the story of a woman's eviction in a working-class neighborhood. It examines academic research on the relationship between eviction, job loss, and emotional toll, highlighting significant policy changes like the right to counsel for tenants. The discussion calls for a reassessment of eviction's role within broader socio-economic issues affecting low-income families and advocates for necessary housing policy reforms.
