We serve tenants who have had problems with the quality and conditions of rentals in neighborhoods throughout the city, tackling our housing crisis one slumlord at a time.
Our tenant advocacy program runs parallel to our organizing efforts. As tenants who are united, we organize to build the future of housing in our city, and through tenant advocacy we work within current systems to protect renter’s rights.
