What happens when someone loses affordable housing and there’s no backup plan? For some Section 8 tenants, the answer can be devastating. In this video, we examine how families can fall through the cracks after losing voucher-supported housing, why finding another affordable unit can be so difficult, and how quickly temporary housing problems can turn into homelessness. Shelters, motels, cars, relatives’ couches — families may be forced to take whatever option they can find. Because once affordable housing disappears, there may not be another home waiting.
