If incarceration had come to define the lives of men from impoverished black neighborhoods, eviction was shaping the lives of women. Poor black men were locked up. Poor black women were locked out.

Poverty is a relationship that involves a lot of folks, rich and poor alike. I was looking for something that brought a lot of different people in a room. Eviction does that, embroils landlords and tenants, lawyers and social workers.

I think that we value fairness in this country. We value equal opportunity. Without a stable home, those ideals really fall apart.

The home is the center of life - a refuge from the grind of work, pressure of school, menace of the streets, a place to be ourselves.
