Author Matthew Desmond and his book ‘Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City,’

Everybody Reads on Homelessness
Copies of
‘Evicted’ now
available
Multnomah County Li-
brary’s Everybody Reads, the
15th annual community read-
ing project, is underway with
the library distributing thou-
sands of copies of “Evicted:
Poverty and Profit in the Amer-
ican City” by Matthew Des-
mond.
Desmond’s book portrays
the issue of eviction — and its
cascading effects on individu-
als, families and communities
— through the personal stories
of landlords and impoverished
tenants.
Everybody Reads brings
people together to examine how
to address issues together and
create the kind of community in
which we all want to live.
“As the destabilizing impacts
of homelessness and a lack of
affordable housing reach into
the lives of more and more peo-
ple, we can see that a clean and
decent home is like a vaccine
against other problems,” said
Desmond, in describing the
subject of his book.
