Advocacy & Coalition Work
At the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco (HRCSF), our advocacy and coalition work are vital to transforming tenant protections in San Francisco and beyond. We collaborate closely with community networks and coalitions to support and pass legislation that defends tenant rights while resisting laws that favor corporate landlords and developers. Our advocacy efforts push for meaningful changes in housing policy that prioritize the needs of tenants and marginalized communities.
With deep roots in the fight against systemic displacement in San Francisco, we have historically partnered with organizations such as Homes for All, Tenants Together, Right to the City, San Francisco Anti-Displacement Coalition (SFADC), and the Regional Tenant Organizing Network. These collaborations allow us to amplify our collective power and ensure we create lasting, systemic change in housing policy. Through these alliances, we work tirelessly to shift the housing narrative and secure policies that protect tenants on a broader scale.

Race & Equity in All Planning Coalitions (REP-SF)
Dozens of grassroots organizations from across San Francisco have come together to form the housing justice coalition, Race & Equity in all Planning (REP-SF). Our mission is to build a future with diverse communities, stable, affordable housing and equitable access to resources and opportunities.
REP-SF envisions a San Francisco that empowers historically marginalized communities in housing justice and equity in land use. We believe that American Indian, Black, and other Communities of color, immigrant, LGBTQ+, low-income and no-income folks, seniors, and people with disabilities should determine our futures.
