Story

My name is Alicia Sandoval, born and raised in SF's Mission District. I have worked with Housing Rights Committee for the last 3 years, as Spanish Language Mission District Organizer and Tenants Rights Counselor; advocating, empowering tenants, educating tenants what their rights are. This year we are celebrating 40 years of tenant  empowerment in SF. As a native San Franciscan, I am honor in helping tenants; I am invested in this community. Our organization wouldn't be possible without your support. Thank you.
