Evicted

“…it is not public housing or other housing policies but the dynamics of the private housing market that are fundamental to poverty in America.”

“For the impoverished, the private rental market is a game of the powerful profiting off the powerless. In this game, because poor tenants often fail to make rent, the landlords hold a stark advantage over their tenants.”

“Evicted” examines the cruelty of housing in America, and sheds light on the psychological consequences for a particular generation of children who have to confront endless evictions and constant relocation.

“While the federal government provides many basic services that are widely accepted as fundamental to American dignity, among the most pressing—housing—remains inadequately addressed.”
