Field Producers: Brian Palmer and Daniel Casarez

Facing Eviction takes viewers inside the unfolding housing crisis during the pandemic. Our unprecedented access to people struggling to stay in their homes, and the landlords, judges and law enforcement who carried out evictions, shows how the promise of a ban on evictions played out against the reality for the tens of millions of Americans at risk of homelessness during Covid-19 pandemic.

A special thank you to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and Economic Hardship Reporting Project for supporting this project.
