Following a handful of people through their personal struggles with eviction at the height of the Great Recession, Desmond offers a window into the reality of poverty that far too many are forced to experience. Desmond argues that eviction is more a cause of poverty than a consequence of it and offers real solutions to this pervasive problem in American society.
