Gabriel Kahane | emergency shelter intake form

Homelessness, eviction, and the lack of affordable housing are of great concern to many. The release of Matthew Desmond’s Evicted shed further light on the eviction crisis and was one of the inspirations for composer Gabriel Kahane’s emergency shelter intake form. This oratorio-style work tells the story of becoming and confronting homelessness from several angles, culminating in a performance by a choir made up of community members directly touched by homelessness, eviction, or housing insecurity.
