A new study finds Georgia children suffer when their mothers face eviction.

The research from Princeton University looks at all mothers who received eviction notices in Georgia between 2000 and 2016. It shows women who were pregnant during those evictions gave birth to children with lower birth weights.

The babies were also more likely to be premature.
