In Georgia and around the country, an individual’s criminal record creates a significant barrier to finding stable housing—a crucial deterrent to recidivism and an essential component of successful reintegration into the community. Sixty-six percent of landlords and property managers will not accept an applicant with a criminal history. Natasha’s project will expand the Georgia Justice Project’s direct service, education, and policy efforts in order to address access to housing for people with a criminal record.
As a former public defender, Natasha has seen first-hand just how crucial access to stable housing is for individuals involved in the criminal justice system. Through her work with the Wrongful Convictions Clinic at Duke Law School, she also became acutely aware of the collateral consequences that a criminal record can have for an individual. She aims to reduce systemic barriers to housing for individuals with a criminal history through policy advocacy, education, and direct representation.
I am very grateful to Equal Justice Works and the Georgia Bar Foundation for their support of my work and the work of the other legal Fellows and community advocates, as we help remove barriers to housing.
