Description

Our organization co-designs data-driven tools for tenants, housing organizers, and legal advocates fighting displacement. By combining highly scalable web-based, mobile-friendly, and SMS tools and services with advanced housing data analysis, we aim to galvanize a 21st century tenant movement working for housing for all.
