Preplanning for Pandemic Era Evictions<\/h2>\n

In an effort to curb economic disaster and to prevent a further surge in homelessness in the Greater LA region, scholars at the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy recently issued a 112-page document<\/a> urging local authorities to prepare for an anticipated abundance of evictions as rent moratoriums are lifted.<\/p>\n

This report is the third portion of a three-part series on Housing Justice in the Era of COVID-19. It features writing and research from noted geography and housing justice scholar Hilary Malson<\/a> whose collection of academic literature can be found in several esteemed publications like the Smithsonian Institution and more. It also contains writing and research from Professor of Law Emeritus Gary L Blasi<\/a> who has a 20-year track record of providing legal and scholarly expertise on the topics of homelessness and poverty. His extensive volume of works can be found under the Articles and Chapters section of his website.<\/p>\n
