Tenant Councils of San Diego believes safe, habitable and stable housing is a basic human right that directly impacts a person’s ability to survive, earn a living, and care for others. The rental market exists solely as a means of generating profit for landlords and not as a solution to a perceived “housing shortage.”

No person should struggle for decent housing in a country where millions of homes stand empty, where many of the world’s billionaires grow their fortunes, and where hundreds of billions of dollars go to military spending every year.

To that end, Tenant Councils of San Diego fights for the decommodification of housing.
