HOUSING RIGHTS COMMITTEE has fought for tenants rights since 1979 when a group of seniors at Old St. Marys Church came together to organize against condo conversions displacing the elderly. Heres what we do and offer: * Free counseling for San Francisco tenants in all types of housing: rent-controlled units, SROs, public housing and Section 8, serving over 5,000 tenants a year. *Organize entire buildings to fight against displacement and evictions * Successfully change and support housing-related laws for a fairer San Francisco * Help create building and community-wide tenants groups * Coordinate, plan and mobilize protests, actions, and housing justice demonstrations * Advocate for tenants in Section 8 and public housing * Sponsor workshops, community meetings, and other events * Work with the Anti-Displacement Coalition, a network of tenant organizations and allies to organize against the soaring evictions and rent increases in our city
