Boston evictions

The number of evictions filed each week in Boston is up nearly 75% from last year, according to new data released by Princeton University’s Eviction Lab, looking at the four-week average.die

A report released Tuesday by the housing activist group City Life/Vida Urbana (CLVU) found that evictions in Boston during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic had an undue impact in communities of color.

While many Bostonians expressed elation at the end of the state’s COVID 19 restrictions, the end of the pandemic emergency may leave some renters and homeowners without a place to live.
