Now, those protections are expiring, and Nelson said evictions are skyrocketing. On a sunny Sunday morning in November, Meztli, her youngest, plays piano in the family's garage in East LA's El Sereno neighborhood, where Escudero runs a free informal group-learning program that had 12 children involved at the height of the pandemic. The piano is surrounded by books and pink scooters and whiteboards. The three of them have been living here since October 2020 through a city-run transitional housing program.
