Abstract
As state and federal eviction moratoriums expire, millions of people across the country face the possibility of losing their homes, and the disparate impact of COVID-19 on women's economic prospects makes them especially vulnerable to eviction. This Policy Spotlight illustrates how everyday gender disparities contribute to housing instability for women and describes how COVID-19 amplified these disparities. The authors offer suggestions for policymakers looking to not only stem the coming wave of evictions but also to help women and families find long-term stability.
