Tiny Chat 147: Sheltered: Twenty Years in Housing Court
Sateesh Nori has written an incredibly thoughtful, beautifully written, and important book—called Sheltered: Twenty Years in Housing Court— that details his experiences as a lawyer representing tenants in New York City housing court over a period of twenty years.
The book is equal parts memoir, policy brief, and series of beautifully told stories and is an important contribution to our understanding of and thinking about eviction courts. It examines the legal issues, the human stories underlying these cases, and the complexities that arise within the housing court, and how factors like race, poverty, and immigration status can impact tenant experiences in court
Listen to this Tiny Chat as we grapple with big and important themes of justice, fairness, and equality.
