To learn more about our organization's model and impact, we encourage you to watch the following video. Program and Position Summary:
The Housing Rights Program works to improve living conditions and empower tenants living in the Mission District and other districts populated by the Latinx community and other marginalized folks in San Francisco. Through a variety of direct services and organizing methods, including but not limited to case management and stabilization, multi-service referrals, leadership and advocacy trainings, and supporting the formation of tenant associations. The Housing Rights Program consists of two main components, the Mission SRO Collaborative (MSROC) and the Tenant Counseling program. MSROC focuses specifically on conditions and advocacy in Single Room Occupancy (SRO) hotels in the Mission District of San Francisco.

MSROC is also part of the SRO Families United Collaborative (SROFU), a citywide collaboration of community-based organizations in Chinatown, South of Market, the Tenderloin, and the Mission that serves families with children who live in hotels. The Tenant Counseling program is a newer arm of DSCS Housing Rights work that extends services beyond the Mission to reach community members living in other districts such as the Excelsior, where many displaced Latinx and immigrant tenants have settled.
