Protect Tenants, Prevent Homelessness

TL;DR — A legal-advocacy report arguing eviction prevention is the cheapest homelessness intervention available.

National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, 2018.

The argument is upstream: most homelessness begins with an eviction, and the legal and financial interventions that prevent an eviction cost far less than rehousing someone afterwards. The report surveys tenant protections jurisdiction by jurisdiction and assembles the evidence for each.

⚠️ An advocacy organisation’s report, arguing a position. The eviction-to-homelessness pipeline it describes is well supported in the research literature.
