This publication examines how eviction affects families and communities, emphasizing that eviction is not just a housing issue but also a driver of poverty, instability, and poorer social outcomes. It highlights how eviction can lead to job loss, disrupted schooling, financial hardship, and lasting negative effects on health and well-being, particularly for low-income renters and marginalized groups.
