Stoneleigh Fellow Vincent Reina is featured by CBS Evening News for co-authoring a report on landlords in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Brandie LaCasse has been waiting on rent for nearly a year. She owns three properties in upstate New York, but the single mother and Air Force veteran is functionally homeless after falling on hard times herself.
