According to
The Evictions Study, done by the University of Washington, “Evictions contribute to homelessness due to rising rents, the lack of affordable housing, and rent burden."
Their numbers show that:
- Women are evicted 11% more than men
- Between 9% and 17% of Black adults faced an eviction
Cities, counties, and states have adopted Just Cause evictions statues, requiring rental property owner to follow set guidelines. However, enforcement of these regulations requires local governments to monitor and if necessary, intercede with appropriate action.
