Centro Legal de la Raza: Tenants' Rights Program
Centro Legal’s tenants rights program provides assistance on most housing issues throughout Alameda County and Contra Costa County. They cannot assist with disputes between tenants, roommates, or neighbors, or with inter-family issues at any clinic. They can only serve tenants who meet Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Income Limits. Proof of income may be required to receive services. The goals of the program are to stop displacement, maintain neighborhoods, and stabilize communities. All tenants arriving to clinics will receive a brief consultation with a Centro Legal staff member. An attorney will review each tenant’s situation, offer advice, and provide a referral to an extended services appointment, if necessary.
