Website Construction (CMS-Based)
Project details
What we need
- Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
- Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
- Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
Additional details
Our website is in need of a serious redesign. It is not user-friendly and does not communicate what we do in a clear and compelling way. I recently finished a website Audit with another catchafire volunteer so have a really clear analysis of what is wrong and the necessary next steps. This is a great project for someone that wants to work on making a sad website for a great organization better with an already developed design guide.
What we have in place
- We currently have the results of a website audit, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a proposal for a new site design, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to cover two important costs. A team of tenant doorknockers that connect tenants to their rights in buildings across the city and sending a team of Sec 8 tenants to DC to meet directly with HUD officials
The Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco is a 40-year-old tenants rights organization helping 5000+ tenants in private and public housing stay in their homes by fighting evictions and getting necessary repairs done. We belive that no one should be evicted becuase they don't know their rights. We want a website that is visually compelling, effectively communicates our impact and victories, is a useful tool for tenants seeking info about their rights and where supporters can plugin.

Our mission
The Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco has been supporting tenants most at risk of evictions - immigrant families, seniors, non-english speakers, people with disabilities - in private and subsidized housing for the last 40 years through direct services, advocacy, and educational campaigns that ensure all tenants in SF regardless of language know their rights.
We work to preserve and expand renters rights, improve conditions for renters and increase affordable housing in San Francisco.
What we do
- Housing counseling to support tenants in private and public housing respond to evictions, rent increases and habitability issues
- Door-knocking and other outreach tactics to connect neighbors and help establish tenant associations.
- Develop, lobby and implement stronger tenant protections that update what already exist, closes loopholes, and create new policy solutions as the housing crisis evolves.
- Take on individual eviction defense campaigns when needed to ensure someone stays in their homes.
- Establish and anchor tenant rights coalitions at the local, regional, state and national level that ensures the movement for affordable, dignified and community controlled housing is strong.
