Join Build Coffee & Books and the National Public Housing Museum as we welcome Brian Goldstone to Chicago to discuss his important new book, There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.
Skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced a startling phenomenon: People with full-time jobs cannot keep a roof over their head, especially in America’s booming cities, where rapid growth is leading to catastrophic displacement. These families are being forced into homelessness not by a failing economy but a thriving one.
In this gripping and deeply reported book, Brian Goldstone plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city.
Brian will be joined in discussion by Eve L. Ewing. Book signing to follow.
FREE, but space is limited. Please register in advance.
