A groundbreaking account of life for low-income families in America, Evicted reveals the devastating impact of poverty and housing instability on families and communities. Through intimate portraits of eight families in Milwaukee, evicted from their homes despite working hard and playing by the rules, the book exposes the hidden costs of eviction and the racial and economic inequality that perpetuates it. By setting these personal stories against the backdrop of a deeply flawed housing system, the book illuminates the systemic failures that trap people in a cycle of poverty and displacement.
