In Boston, population growth and rising housing costs have spurred new development of luxury housing and renovation of existing residential buildings, putting pressure on existing neighborhood tenants and homeowners. As a response to these phenomena, perceived as contributing to a displacement and eviction crisis in Boston, organizations within the Right to the City Alliance proposed legislation that they felt would "slow down" the processes leading to eviction of tenants in larger buildings and former homeowners in their foreclosed properties. The Jim Brooks Community Stabilization Act, formerly the Just Cause Eviction Ordinance, if implemented, would ensure residents are notified of their rights in eviction proceedings and allow them to be evicted only for certain "just causes." Since 2014, advocates have been working to get this legislation drafted and passed in the Boston City Council. This research seeks to understand why and how advocates proposed this act and what barriers it faces in implementation. I argue that despite gaining support from the Mayor's Office and being an intentionally mild bill, opposition from large and small property owners and the real estate industry has shaped the conversation around the act, leading to both confusion and resistance to its passing. In this case study, I discuss the difficulties of drafting and passing progressive housing policy in increasingly unaffordable urban areas and the need for a broader conversation about the right to housing for residents. Thesis Advisor: Justin Steil, Assistant Professor Reader: Ingrid Gould Ellen, Visiting Professor 2 Acknowledgments I am thankful for so many people who have helped me through this process and through these incredible two years at DUSP. To my thesis advisor Justin, thank you so much for your patience, advice, and kindness throughout this entire process and for challenging me to always dig deeper. Our conversations have inspired me to think critically and clearly. To my reader Ingrid, thank you for your clarity and encouragement to be sharper. To my parents, thank you for your unwavering support, for being so understanding, open with your space and love, and for always having a story to tell. You have instilled in me a curiosity for life that has lead me on so many great adventures. To Max and Mia, thank you for a life of laugh attacks, for being the best travel buddies, and for always being there at the top of the stairs on our favorite day. To my entire DUSP family, especially my cohort, I would list you all if I could. I would not be here without all of your love and hilarity. You've kept me critical, accountable, and, most of all, sane. And, finally, so much love to my beautiful neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, which has shaped my worldview and been the space of so many memorable, challenging, and incredible relationships. 3 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION ......................................................................................................................................... 5 Housing and Eviction................................................................................................................ 5 Research, Motivations, and Methods............................................................................. 8 Contextualizing the Issue................................................................................................... 8 CHAPTER 1.

To understandpoverty, I needed to understandthat relationship. That sent me searching for a process that bound poor and rich people together in mutual dependence and struggle. Eviction was such a process." Desmond 2016: 317 Housing and Eviction In early 2016, Matthew Desmond released his groundbreaking book, Evicted, which chronicles the day-to-day experiences of low-income renters and property owners he lived alongside of in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His empathetic approach to documenting the severity of housing instability reveals the interconnectedness of eviction and poverty, forcing the reader to re-conceptualize their ideas of the "deserving" and "undeserving" poor. He weaves in a conversation on systemic racism and cycles of poverty, showing African American renters, and particularly black women with children, as repeatedly facing discrimination in securing stable housing. His narrative, intimate work shows the perspectives of both renters and landlords in a variety of mentally and emotionally challenging circumstances. Maintaining a relatively impartial gaze throughout the book, it is only at the end that he

  • 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends
    Our mission is to help young people, especially those who need us most, build strong character and realize their full potential as responsible citizens and leaders. We do this by providing: a safe haven filled with hope and opportunity, ongoing relationships with caring adults, and life-enhancing programs. BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF BOSTON 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends, This year – and for the last three years – under the remarkable leadership of outgoing Board Chair Dana Smith, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston has worked diligently to develop an incredible breadth and depth of thoughtfully designed programs to help our members succeed academically, live healthy lifestyles, practice good citizenship and be prepared for life after the Club. In this report, I invite you to read about just a few of the opportunities we provided to more than 17,000 young people at our Clubs. While BGCB invests $3,100 to serve each member – many of whom come from households with incomes of less than $33,000 per year – we only charge $25 per school year for 6-12 year olds and just $5 a year for teens – and no child is turned away because of an inability to pay. Each one of the generous contributions made by the individuals, corporations, foundations and community partners listed in this report played an important role in making this possible. In order to stay affordable and continue to offer even more enriching programs to the kids who need us most, I am excited to share that we successfully completed our five-year Opening Doors Campaign for Our Children, Our City, Our Future and surpassed our goal of $125 million – raising $131 million! We have also exceeded our planned giving goal of securing over 75 members of the Frederic C.

Since then, the library has disappeared and reappeared in various forms in Chinatown for different reasons. In 1956, the City of Boston demolished the Tyler Street Branch Library and since 2000, community groups in Chinatown have been advocating for their own branch of the BPL. This thesis explores why the Chinatown community does not have a library in 2010 and why the movement to reclaim one has gained momentum in the past ten years. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that the public library is a diagnostic window into society; $/,'8)%&2%-39'%$1'.!,#"$%.-19'"-2'$/,'1,#:%;,1'%$'!#.:%2,1'#,<,;$'$/,'1.;%"&9',;.-.+%;9'"-2'!.&%$%;"&' contexts of time and place.
