Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco (HRCSF) A tenants rights organization

conversions that were displacing the elderly. Housing Rights Committee counselors provide
help to over 5,000 tenants a year, advising them on their rights as renters. Drop-in hours are
from 1 to 5, Monday through Thursday. Address: 427 South Van Ness Avenue, San
