“Behind all of this, is that we need more affordable housing to be built. We have a problem in terms of supply that is huge… It is certainly a problem in Atlanta and in Georgia,” Eviction Lab’s @jpgarnham.bsky.social told 11 Alive. www.11alive.com/video/news/c...

Courts can do a lot for tenants, even when their state's housing laws limit them. This judge and their team in Houston show how this is possible. Great video from @houstonchronicle.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3fC...

New data added to our Eviction Tracking System! In Oklahoma City, there's as many filings as in the whole state of Connecticut. A third of the cases in OKC are for less than $1,000, which shows that with a little bit of help, many could avoid homelessness.

Essential housing journalism: @capitalb.bsky.social keeps digging on how is it for renters to live in the complex with the most evictions in Atlanta, a city where 1 out of every 6 renter households experience an eviction filing.

Annual eviction filings report day here at the lab. "This year’s data also reflect a familiar pattern: eviction cases are concentrated among a small number of landlords. These landlords, through a handful of buildings, drive a disproportionate number of renters into court."

Juan Pablo Garnham @jpgarnham.bsky.social · 16/04/2026
Life in Atlanta’s most eviction‑prone housing complex is brutal. Being just $2 short on rent can trigger hundreds in fees, lock residents out of the payment portal, and leave them with an eviction filing on their record.

Facing eviction is confusing, stressful, and often lonely — especially when resources are limited. That’s one of the reasons why the work @legalservicescorp.bsky.social does across the country is such a lifeline for renters navigating one of the hardest experiences they’ll ever go through.

The "you have the right to an attorney" phrase we hear in movies is not true for most people facing homelessness in the United States. During an eviction, tenants face a hearing alone, while landlords have lawyers with them. Some cities are trying to change that and level the playing field.

A nation of bystanders that was built by laws, "policies that penalize anyone who interacts with homeless people or displays empathy." By Leah Goodridge. time.com/7209921/byst...
In some cases, people who fail to heed such signs that prohibit donating to homeless people can be given a citation. In other instances, police have ticketed or even arrested volunteers in California, Ohio, Texas and Arizona for feeding homeless people. A pastor was even found guilty of fire safety violations for allowing homeless people to sleep in his church. In Florida, a county fined a 71-year-old homeowner more than $90,000 for using his property to house homeless people. In South Dakota, a planning commission denied a church’s permit to operate a warming center to keep unhoused people safe in freezing weather.
