Much of today's housing inequities stem from women and people of color's historical exclusion from property ownership in the United States.
On the day that New York State's COVID-19 moratorium on rent expires, tenant rights activists hold a demonstration outside Civil Court where eviction cases are starting up again on March 01, 2021 in downtown Brooklyn, New York. They were protesting what they claim to be inadequate legislative relief for renters during the COVID-19 pandemic and to call for the cancellation of rent.Every year, 3.6 million evictions are filed in the US, disproportionately impacting women and people of color.
"I reached out to all the programs for help, but I never got a dime," said Hutchison, who is mixed race. The gender disparities are even starker when race is factored in: The Eviction Lab study found that 36.3% more Black women were evicted than Black men between 2012 and 2016.Much of today's housing inequities stem from the fact that women and people of color have historically been excluded from property ownership in the US, according to Eric Tars, legal director at the National Homelessness Law Center .
When a tenant misses a payment, violates the terms of a lease, or breaks the law, their landlord can attempt to kick them off the property. If they can't reach a resolution, the landlord may then file an official complaint in court to begin eviction proceedings. The tenant must attend the hearing to challenge the eviction.
