Axios, August 5, 2020: 23 million Americans face eviction
What they’re saying: “I’ve never seen this many people poised to lose their housing in such a short period of time,” said Bill Faith of the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio to AP.
The big picture:Â 23 million Americans are at risk of eviction and exposure to the shelter system during a pandemic, the AP reports, citing the Aspen Institute.
- The latest Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey found last week that more than 26.5% of American adults 18 or older questioned whether they would be able to make last month’s rent or mortgage payment or had little or no confidence they could pay next month, the AP notes.
