How does this work for an October Surprise?
20 Million Renters Are at Risk of Eviction; Policymakers Must Act Now to Mitigate Widespread Hardship - The Aspen Institute
"Mass evictions would be a disaster.
"For both individuals and families,
evictions result in severe harm; when they become widespread, there are also significant consequences for entire communities and even the speed of economic recovery.
"Policymakers are actively seeking solutions, but it is difficult to prepare without knowing the size of the problem.
"The
COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project (CEDP) was formed to solve that problem.
"It is a coalition of economic researchers and legal experts who developed a model to estimate eviction risk nationally and at the state level.
"The disturbing result: 19 to 23 million, or one in five of the 110 million Americans who live in renter households, are at risk of eviction by September 30, 2020."

) parents who have never experienced homelessness before, begin living on the streets?
