Is your nonprofit facing eviction or a rent increase? San Francisco-based nonprofits facing a rent increase or displacement, may be eligible for technical or financial assistance through the City and County of San Francisco’s Nonprofit Displacement Mitigation Program. Nonprofits in the program have benefited from lease extensions and negotiations, short-term rental subsidies and tenant improvement funds, and are often among the first to hear about new below-market real estate opportunities.
