Book excerpt: If you go to Boston Housing Court on a Thursday morning, when most eviction cases are scheduled, you will find that a disproportionate amount of the hundreds of people waiting to defend against an eviction are people of color -- even though roughly half of Boston's population is white. In Boston, like many other cities in the country, the fear, stigma, trauma, and economic hardship of being forced from your home is an experience disproportionately felt by people of color. Yet without clear data, these disparities are often hidden to people who aren't directly affected. I have partnered with City Life/Vida Urbana, a grassroots tenants' organization, to provide rigorous data and research that organizers, advocates, and policymakers can use to support movement-building and tenant protections policy. Using eviction records from Boston Housing Court between 2014 and 2016 merged with data on census tract characteristics from the U.S. Census Bureau and property assessment data from the Boston Assessing Department, this research reveals patterns in the neighborhoods and properties most affected by evictions. The research finds that eviction filings are heavily concentrated in low-income neighborhoods of color. Above and beyond indicators of poverty, eviction filings are more likely in neighborhoods with a higher share of Black renters, and lower educational attainment. Within neighborhoods, eviction filings are also more likely in non-owner-occupied properties, and properties that have been more recently constructed or renovated and have a higher assessed value per square foot. These disparities are arguably a legacy of decades of housing segregation in Boston that has systematically disadvantaged renters of color. I recommend significantly stronger tenant protections at the state and municipal level to mitigate the chronic housing insecurity faced by many of Boston's communities of color, particularly as the COVID-19 pandemic further threatens the housing stability of these communities..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the almshouses of seventeenth-century Puritans to the massive housing projects of the mid-twentieth century, the struggle over housing assistance in the United States has exposed a deep-seated ambivalence about the place of the urban poor. Lawrence J. Vale's groundbreaking book is both a comprehensive institutional history of public housing in Boston and a broader examination of the nature and extent of public obligation to house socially and economically marginal Americans during the past 350 years. First, Vale highlights startling continuities both in the way housing assistance has been delivered to the American poor and in the policies used to reward the nonpoor. He traces the stormy history of the Boston Housing Authority, a saga of entrenched patronage and virulent racism tempered, and partially overcome, by the efforts of unyielding reformers. He explores the birth of public housing as a program intended to reward the upwardly mobile working poor, details its painful transformation into a system designed to cope with society's least advantaged, and questions current policy efforts aimed at returning to a system of rewards for responsible members of the working class. The troubled story of Boston public housing exposes the mixed motives and ideological complexity that have long characterized housing in America, from the Puritans to the projects.

Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a crisis of housing insecurity for Black, Latinx and immigrant Boston renters. This crisis magnified existing dynamics of systemic racial exploitation. It was also tempered by unprecedented expansions of renter protections across local, state, and federal levels of government, secured by the tenacious organizing of the housing justice movement. Given extreme levels of need and new renter protections, this thesis asks: how closely did patterns of rental housing insecurity during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic follow previous racial disparities experienced by Boston renters? Using eviction records from Eastern Housing Court from March 2020 to March 2021, records of housing quality issues reported to the City of Boston's 311 call center, and renter testimony gathered through surveying, this research assesses the extent to which COVID-19's cumulative effects transformed tenant relationships with landlords, neighbors, and government. It finds that Boston's communities of color continued to disproportionately experience common indicators of housing insecurity, though with less frequency and to perhaps to a lesser degree than before COVID-19. These findings demonstrate the need to expand, enhance, and solidify vigorous renter protections. Doing so, I argue, will begin to abate the deep housing insecurity experienced by Black and Brown renters in Boston.
