Every year, about 1/3 of Legal Action cases involve a housing law problem. And most of these housing law cases are evictions where children are in the home. A recent study shows that having children is a significant risk factor for evictions. The authors state that "neighborhoods with a high percentage of children experience increased evictions." The study was conducted using Milwaukee data but the authors state that is true in most U.S. communities. scholar.harvard.edu/files/mdesmond/files/evictingchildren.socialforces.2013.pdf
