“Pushed Out” is a short explainer video that helps paint a clearer picture of displacement and its long-term impacts.

Why an explainer video on displacement? Displacement is a misunderstood crisis, and there are a few key things often missing when we talk about it…

For starters, displacement happens in many different ways – we can’t effectively fight it until we learn to recognize it in all its forms. Displacement is not just evictions, but also lots of other pressures that force people to move. And displacement is not just a one-time unfortunate event -- it has long-lasting impacts for families and their opportunities, with low-income people and people of color often being hardest hit.

We need to help ensure that as new investments take shape across our cities and regions, these investments generate healthy and equitable opportunities for everyone.
