Losing Home: Displacement in Boston
Channel: officialclvu
Date: 2015-04-08

How have rising rents lead to evictions and destabilized communities in Boston's neighborhoods? This video of potent testimonials from renters was screened before the Boston City Council at the April 7th, 2015 hearing on displacement. A "Just Cause" Eviction Ordinance would keep these neighbors in their homes.
