Episode Details

Fifty people camped along Memorial Drive in Rockingham are being forced to leave by September 22nd—many have been there months, sleeping in cars or tents because rent is unaffordable. One woman lost her job and can’t pay $700 weekly rent. The state has known since April and issued eviction notices, but residents fear for their safety and mental health.
