How do you shelter in place when your home is unsafe or your landlord shuts off your heat? Amid a pandemic and eviction ban, landlords are forcing tenants out through illegal lockouts, harassment or threats of violence. #TheHousingCliff https://www.citybureau.org/the-housing-cliff
It's especially hard on undocumented renters, many living paycheck to paycheck without gov't support. Fear of being deported or unhoused means they pay rent instead buying food or keeping the lights on. https://www.citybureau.org/newswire/2021/1/31/undocumented-renters-carry-pressure-of-housing-crisis-with-no-safety-net by @alexarriaga__ & @WoojaeJSong #TheHousingCliff
What's next? Renters, advocates and officials have different ideas about solutions. The common thread is that people need to learn more and take action—with eviction bans likely to end this year, things could get much worse https://www.citybureau.org/newswire/2021/1/31/4-solutions-that-could-stem-the-housing-crisis by @JstnAgrlo #TheHousingCliff
