The Opportunity

Asian Law Caucus (ALC) seeks a Housing Rights Fellow for its Housing Rights Program. The Housing Rights Fellow will chiefly engage in direct services and community outreach serving California tenants and tenant groups, with a focus on Bay Area tenants and tenant groups in San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and Sacramento counties.

This position is a key member of our Housing Rights team, which adopts a multi-pronged approach to housing defense and anti-displacement. A critical component of the program is providing holistic, community legal services and know-your-rights education to low-income and immigrant tenants who face threats of displacement due to gentrification, harassment, discrimination, and other intimidation tactics. Staff actively participate in community coalitions and work closely with tenants and grassroots advocates to use policy and impact strategies to protect and advance the rights of low-income communities of color.

They may also engage in policy advocacy that arises from our representation and outreach work. There may also be the opportunity to engage in some instances of cross-program or impact litigation work.

1. Cover letter explaining your interest in the position
