South Carolina Housing Justice Network is a multiracial, multigenerational grassroots coalition that believes housing, healthcare, and a living wage are human rights. We came together during the pandemic to imagine and work for a healthy, thriving, and livable future for all South Carolinians. Our purpose is to support tenants in organizing against evictions, foreclosures, utility shut offs and other inhumane living conditions. We do this through direct action, mutual aid, resource sharing, base building, and political education. Our goals are to build tenant unions, expand community control of housing, and increase tenant rights on a local and state level as part of our broader demand for an economy and government that prioritizes people and the planet above profits. Ultimately, we work to push back against and transform the systems that force people into poverty and homelessness.
