California Had an ‘Eviction Moratorium.’ Thousands of People Were Evicted Anyway

Listen Later

Soon after the pandemic started and Californians began to lose their jobs, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued what he called an 'eviction moratorium' to protect those who couldn’t make rent because of COVID-19.

But there are a lot of vulnerable people who were never protected by that order. And since March 4, at least 2,000 California households have been kicked out of their homes.

Guest: Matt Levin, housing and data reporter for CalMatters
