Residents United Network (RUN) is a branch of Housing California that brings together people who live in or need affordable housing and who believe every Californian deserves a safe and stable place to call home. RUN leaders draw on their life experiences to pass state laws for housing justice for themselves, their neighbors, and generations to come.
EBHO’s Lead Organizer, Damion Scott, is the Regional Organizing Coordinator (ROC) for the Bay Area chapter of RUN. Through our partnership with RUN, Bay Area leaders have taken powerful action to make sure that our State Representatives vote for affordable housing.
This powerful statewide movement is made up of people who have been affected by the housing crisis in California, and are working to change state housing policy through grassroots organizing in seven regions of the state.
Everyone says they want to fix California’s housing crisis. But most of the time, the people making laws about housing in California are homeowners, not people who have struggled to afford a place to live. RUN changes that equation, connecting people who live in affordable housing and people who have experienced homelessness with each other to advocate for better state housing laws.
