‘I lost everything’: Black women get evicted more than anyone else. A looming eviction crisis will make it worse

The green-sided house with the manicured lawn and juniper trees was more than a home to Nicole Chambers. It was proof she was a good woman, a good nurse, a good mom. 

Now, the eviction order she found cruelly silent on the dark green laminate countertop signaled she was about to lose the life she had worked so hard to build. Her sons had texted her a photo of it when they found it taped to the red storm door earlier that afternoon, but a part of her didn't want to believe it was true.

The hair on her neck stood up. Her feet were heavy on the wood floor. Her mouth was dry. 

How could everything unravel so quickly, she thought.
