About The Housing Justice Collaborative
The Housing Justice Collaborative is a network of tenant-serving community organizations and legal service provider partners working together since 2020 to efficiently respond to and prevent avoidable evictions in San Diego County. Through education and outreach, rental assistance and legal services, we can keep more San Diego tenants housed.
Avoidable evictions destabilize families, harm children, perpetuate systemic inequality and increase health risks. Eviction is costly and difficult, for both tenants and landlords, and a very inefficient way to collect tenant debt. Other large urban areas have established interventions that reduce avoidable evictions and prevent more people falling into homelessness. We are working together to implement these proven strategies in San Diego.
These strategies include providing accurate tenant information through both online and in-person Know Your Rights workshops, vetted legal information and other community resources such as emergency rental assistance funding to help tenants needing help.
