The Take Back Our Homes Campaign is organizing to fight the mass and unjust eviction and displacement of poor and working class families; our neighbors. We are building worker power to create a system that guarantees dignified housing for all Arizonans. Affordable housing is a worker’s rights fight. Everyone deserves to live safe, healthy, and joyful lives.
To help build this new future, we organize workers and their communities to take action. We use our collective power to shift city, county, and state policy in order to increase affordable housing access and create greater protections for tenants. We host monthly Know Your Rights trainings, turn out our people to speak at key city council meetings, and canvass local neighborhoods and apartment complexes to talk to our neighbors about the housing challenges we all face.
In 2023, we were part of the successful effort to pass source of income (SOI) discrimination law in Phoenix and Tempe, AZ, ensuring that residents would not be discriminated against for utilizing public assistance. There is still so much more to be done to protect ourselves and our neighbors from forced displacement, and we need your help. Together we can win.
Let’s Keep Winning Tenant Protections
In 2023, the Take Back Our Homes Campaign was part of the successful effort to pass source of income (SOI) discrimination law in Phoenix and Tempe, AZ, ensuring that residents would not be discriminated against for utilizing public assistance. This victory was a direct result of neighbors and organizers wielding their collective power to improve living conditions for all. Local seniors, veterans, folks with disabilities, and neighbors experiencing financial challenges received these material benefits from collective action. But we won't stop there.
If you experience discrimination from a landlord because of public assistance, there’s support available for you.
Let’s Keep Our Neighbors Housed!
The purpose of the Eviction Defense Network is to help folks who are at risk or are being evicted to navigate the support that exists and offer peer-to-peer support from volunteers. There are various organizations and services that exist that can help alleviate some hardships people going through eviction are facing.
We do not offer legal advice or direct services.
