Eviction Defense Collaborative

The Eviction Defense Collaborative’s (EDC’s) RADCo program provides interest-free loans and grants to tenants residing in the City and County of San Francisco who have fallen behind in their rent due to a temporary financial setback.

The Eviction Defense Collaborative (EDC) is the primary referral for people who are threatened with an eviction by notice (a warning to do something or leave) or a lawsuit (summons and/or complaint for unlawful detainer). Anyone in this situation should be directed to the EDC’s drop-in clinic immediately. Notices have deadlines, and eviction lawsuits require tenants respond within 5 calendar days – failure to do so could result in them losing the case without having an opportunity to contest or respond.

EDC can also help with a Sheriff’s notice to vacate a unit.
