About this book

Eight Milwaukee families struggle to secure housing while rent absorbs most of their income. Matthew Desmond's nonfiction account follows tenants and landlords, connecting household debt and repeated displacement with the economics of rental housing. Arleen's search for a home for her sons introduces the practical pressures of eviction, beginning when damage to her apartment door prompts the landlord to remove her family.
