Suspending driver's licenses for unpaid debt makes everyone less safe, but is especially hurtful for poorer people and disproportionately affects Black and Brown residents. Glad to see Ohio on the cusp of changing this wrongful policy. https://t.co/eSxuCvSO8y

HUD has proposed a rule that would require public housing agencies (PHAs) provide tenants 30 days notice before filing an eviction case. It's a good rule! Here's why, and what you should do to support it. 🧵

Back in June 2020, @EvictionLab launched the Eviction Tracking System, a website for monitoring eviction filings in real time during the pandemic. Now, we’re giving the website its first full refresh. Come, let me show you some new features! 🧵

New piece up looking at eviction filings in 2022. Case loads were up 78.6% relative to 2021, with increases recorded in every single city we monitor. By the end of the year, overall filings were back to pre-pandemic levels.

“Eviction prevention is not a normal we want to return to,” @WhiteHouse’s @GeneSperling46 tells @NLIHC’s ERASE cohort. “Whether it was impractical or audacious, it was done & now we have a 500-program ERA infrastructure. It’s imperative we build on it & not let it be dismantled.”

Read this 🧵 on a major utility company that sold off its consumer debt, leading to default judgments & wage garnishments for customers 👇👇

[Dan Bernstein @danbernstein18]

How many people will miss their court date and have their wages garnished without their knowledge? Great reporting on debt and garnishment.

[Emily Hopkins is reporting for Mirror Indy @indyemapolis]

POV: You didn’t know you still owed $1,500 to a billion dollar utility until a debt collector sued you (during a pandemic) and started garnishing 25% of your paycheck.
