What are some examples you've seen of resources being inaccessible to lower income communities? How can we ensure people receive benefits they qualify for? ransa2001 https://padlet.com/mafrin1/3avn3pa2weyqig3g/wish/3385981434 2025-03-28 02:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mafrin1/3avn3pa2weyqig3g/wish/3385981434 Question 4: Desmond argues that eviction is “a cause and not just a condition of poverty” What does he mean by this statement? When you think of causes of poverty, what comes to mind? Why are the poor disproportionately impacted by eviction, while the middle class are not? ransa2001 https://padlet.com/mafrin1/3avn3pa2weyqig3g/wish/3385982589 2025-03-28 02:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mafrin1/3avn3pa2weyqig3g/wish/3385982589 Question 5: In the lecture it was discussed that there were multiple repeal efforts to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
