Moderate-income New Yorkers are increasingly becoming the face of eviction in the city, according to a new report by the Community Service Society of New York.
The report titled “Preventing Eviction in New York State: What Works and What Doesn’t,” released on Wednesday, concludes that a middle-income family of three earning $50,000 to $110,000 – two to five times above a poverty-level income – is almost as likely to face eviction in the city as a family living in poverty.
