🏠 Strategies such as cutting back on necessities and changing living arrangements are not enough to #EaseTheBurden for struggling renters in #LosAngeles.
New blog post based on our in-person surveys of almost 800 households in LA w/@angstondeck@JovannaRosen and @GaryDeanPainter

“Five million more American kids fell into poverty last year. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say they were pushed.”
@crampell is right. The child tax credit in Biden rescue plan slashed poverty. Congress let it expire. Poverty roared back. Awful choice. https://t.co/WFIOhzkQs3

🚨It’s out! This is the first paper from our work surveying renter households in central and south Los Angeles. We find that families make consumption cutbacks and functional adjustments (in work and living arrangements) to afford rent, and these changes persist in time
New @JUAurban paper with @angstondeck@sdegregorio@GaryDeanPainter on rental affordability. We use survey data to show pervasive impacts, which force long-term consumption cutbacks, reshape work and housing arrangements, and obscure precarity. https://t.co/gTmFLcIurn
