It is so amazing to be part of an organization that for the last 40 years has had tenants back. The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most expensive rental markets in the world and everyday people are struggling to stay in their homes. Evictions can be 100% preventable, and no tenants should leave their home because they don't know what their rights, or don't have someone in their corner supporting them. As we prepare to start a new decade of our work, we are raising funds to make sure that we are able to reach even more tenants and let even more folks know what their rights are. 

Will you give $40 and help celebrate our 40th anniversary?
