Post Hurricane Milton evictions

Major natural disasters like Hurricane Helene graphically illustrate how compounding impacts can erode housing security in the weeks and months after an event. Lack of internet access can cut off the ability to pay rent online, and those who evacuated can’t just drop off rent checks.
