What Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco Inc does
Mission
The Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco is dedicated to combating the displacement crisis gripping our city by building the power of working-class tenants of color to take on the real estate industry and win housing justice for all. Through organizing and peer-counseling programs, we empower both private-market and subsidized housing tenants to connect with their neighbors and transform their communities while transforming themselves.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco (HRCSF) provides tenant counseling and education services to support housing stability for renters across the city. Each year, we assist thousands of tenants in multiple languages, offering information about tenant rights and helping individuals navigate issues such as rent increases, eviction notices, repairs and habitability concerns, harassment, and language access. Through one-on-one counseling and community education, we help tenants better understand their rights and the resources available to them, supporting safer and more stable housing outcomes.

Through outreach, workshops, and tenant meetings, we provide education on tenant rights and support tenants in engaging with landlords and relevant agencies. Our work includes supporting residents in subsidized housing, coordinating tenant networks across neighborhoods, and engaging communities experiencing high levels of housing instability. Throughout, we prioritize culturally responsive outreach and multilingual access to ensure services reach communities most impacted by displacement pressures. Through these combined efforts, tenants are able to resolve housing issues, secure needed repairs, and achieve improved housing conditions.
