The rules changed. The outcome didn't.

Houston's Third Ward and other Southside neighborhoods — among the city's historically Black communities — see eviction filing rates far above the county average. It's not the same story everywhere, and it isn't any one single cause. But the pattern echoes an older one: these are neighborhoods that have faced exclusion before, now moving through legal paperwork instead of a line on a map. NeighborSTAND exists to change the outcome, one case at a time.

Grounded in Kinder Institute for Urban Research mapping of eviction filings across Harris County neighborhoods.
