Eviction and Foreclosure Research

When people are unable to afford their rent or mortgage, they risk eviction or foreclosure.

A forced move and loss of stable housing has long-term health and economic implications. Poverty Solutions' research helps to document the impacts of evictions and foreclosures as well as to assess effective ways to prevent housing instability.
