One-year-old Chase Milam watches as a sheriff’s deputy and a member of
an eviction team remove possessions from his aunt’s home in Milliken,
Colorado. His aunt, Brandie Barbiere, whose child-care business had
dropped by more than half, had stopped making mortgage payments 11
months earlier. Americans experienced the fifth year of a national
housing crisis. By the end of 2011, some four million families had lost
their homes after they could no longer meet mortgage payments. People
renting houses often found themselves in a similar situation, no longer
able to afford the rent and facing eviction. In Colorado, eviction teams
supervised by a deputy from the county sheriff’s office arrive with
court orders, and clear the contents of a house onto the street.
Families have 24 hours to remove their possessions.
