"It’s an understatement to say that there is a housing crisis occurring across the country,” Housing Justice Organizer Ewan Johnson shares at West Philly Rally

Through research done through Reclaim Philadelphia’s rental assistance program, it was learned that Black single moms are at the forefront of the housing crisis in the city.

“Time and time again we see that the most affected are the most vulnerable. Housing should be a frontburner issue, yet we are falling further and further behind. Why are we seeing a push to decrease affordable housing when we need more?” Johnson said.

Johnson said they are taking a stand against forced displacement and the violent nature of evictions.
