Examining Evictions through a Life-Course Lens

Abstract

Evictions, as markers of housing instability, call attention to the "housing affordability crisis." The purpose of this research was to examine the individual and structural circumstances that contributed to eviction transitions in housing careers across the life course, how housing trajectories spiralled into homelessness, and how the confluence of social policies operated during these transitions. Qualitative interviews indicated that transitions from eviction to homelessness were entangled across the life course and stretched across generations. The study shows how housing policies interact with life-course events and other policies to produce negative and costly effects for the precariously housed.
