Anti-Eviction Mapping Project

Designing maps, websites, and publications with the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, a critical cartography and data visualization collective documenting the contours of gentrification and housing dispossession across the US.
Following the foreclosure crisis, corporate consolidation of real estate in the Bay Area has given rise to sweeping evictions and displacement. Real estate investors increasingly conceal their property portfolios behind vast webs of shell companies, further widening the power and information gap between tenants and their landlords.

Evictorbook is a mapping tool that allows San Francisco and Oakland tenants and housing organizers to research properties, evictions, and the corporate networks of ownership behind them. In addition to helping communities curb evictions through multi-building campaigns, this tool is used by local coalitions, advocacy groups, and policy analysts to publish reports and advance tenant protections in the Bay.
