 If I had good eviction data, it would make a world of difference. You know, I've always believed that you can't improve what you can't measure and the absence of robust data around the scope and scale of evictions, as well as our limited ability to know when they're occurring and where they're most likely to occur, limits our ability to create the types of policies necessary to help keep people in their homes. The good news is that we have some ways to fix this problem. Local governments, which are closest to the lives of the people they're charged with serving, need to build the databases where this data can live and the federal government can play a huge role in providing those resources to folks at the local level because it's those local officials who know the most about their communities and they're the very people charged with keeping their constituents housed and safe.
