Evicted

Poverty and Profit in the American City
Feb 05, 2018
Given the recent discussions surrounding housing and housing supply here in Whistler, Matthew Desmond, using Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a case study, provides a brilliant, heartbreaking and well-researched portrayal of the impacts of eviction on the urban poor in America. The case study follows 8 families and their experiences within a system that exacerbates health, mental health and addiction issues; prevents families from being able to maintain steady housing, employment and the ability to move on from poverty. Evicted raises important questions, provides potential solutions and is a MUST READ and I would recommend it to anyone.
