Episode 40 - Tampa's Racist Program that Evicted 1000 Black Renters
Manage episode 336642378 series 2935081
We are excited to be joined by the Legal Chair of the Tampa Chapter of the ACLU, James Shaw.
James helped to uncover the racist "Crime Free Multi Housing"program run by the Tampa Police Department that encouraged and may have coerced landlords into evicting families where one of the residents committed a crime, even one as minor as pan-handling or a crime of poverty. This program is also known as the "Renting While Black" program, because over 90% of the residents evicted under this program were black.
