The NASEM Response and Resilient Recovery Strategic Science Initiative (R3SSI) Executive Council has established its first Strategy Group on COVID-19 and Rental Evictions. The Strategy Group will analyze COVID-19 impacts on rental property evictions within low- and middle-income communities and disadvantaged groups in the near and mid-term (i.e., 6-24 months and 3-5 years, respectively). It will conduct rapid, scenario-based analyses of both possible and probable outcomes, including but will not be limited to, the possibility that a wave of evictions from rental properties will emerge amid weak economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.

Description
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will establish a Response and Resilient Recovery Strategy Group (the Strategy Group) that will consider prioritized opportunities from the Executive Council and conduct rapid, scenario-based analyses of both possible and probable outcomes. The Strategy Group will consider the impacts of natural and human-initiated stressors, predict possible future states, build roadmaps for recognizing vulnerabilities with approximate levels of scientific uncertainty. The outputs will include concise, actionable, evidence-based advice on potential interventions that can improve pandemic and crisis prevention, preparedness and response, health outcomes, and strengthen resilience in systems and communities.
The first Strategy Group will analyze COVID-19 impacts on rental property evictions within low- and middle-income communities and disadvantaged groups in the near and mid-term (i.e., 6-24 months and 3-5 years, respectively). A strategic scenario would explore, but will not be limited to, the possibility that a wave of evictions from rental properties will emerge amid weak economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Possible interventions derived from this scenario work will inform governments, NGOs, rental property owners, and the financial sector on how to mitigate and prevent evictions and the associated harm.
