For this reason, California's Central Valley has been the scene of a large number of evictions, as the wage disparity compared to other areas is wide and, from March to date, various problems derived from COVID-19 have been added, such as unemployment.

As a result, nearly 300,000 people could soon lose their homes, based on initial unemployment claims and the proportion of workers in companies affected by the COVID-19 pandemic who rent and live in homes where there are no other sources of income, said Janine Nkosi, regional advisor for the organization Faith in the Valley.
