About this organization
Mission
Eviction Defense Collaborative (EDC) is the only legal services organization in San Francisco focused solely on eviction prevention. EDC’s goal is to prevent displacement and homelessness, stabilize communities, and ensure housing equity in San Francisco. Formed in 1999 as the primary resource center for tenants filing initial responses to unlawful detainers (UD), EDC has developed an effective, client-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive triage clinic model. EDC provides free full scope legal representation, tenant rights education, rental assistance, and advocacy for clients living in shelters, all under one organizational umbrella.
About
Legal services including tenant counseling and representation: EDC provided counseling and legal help to over 2500 households that were facing eviction. Programs included preparing a response to the lawsuit, preparation of requests for delays of the sheriffs eviction and assisting tenants to represent themselves throughout the legal process. We provided full-scope representation for over 80 households. Jointly with collaborating agencies, we provided limited scope representation to help over 800 households negotiate at the court-mandated settlement conference.
