Shelter Client Advocate

Eviction Defense Collaborative

MISSION & VALUES

EDC Mission

Eviction Defense Collaborative (EDC) works to prevent homelessness before it starts by providing compassionate, high‑quality legal assistance, rental assistance, and supportive services to San Francisco tenants facing eviction or housing instability. We believe that housing is a human right, and we strive to ensure that every San Franciscan has meaningful access to justice and the resources needed to remain safely housed.

EDC GREAT Values

  • Gratitude – Valuing one another’s contributions and recognizing the impact of our collective work
  • Responsibility – Acting with accountability, integrity, and sound stewardship of public resources
  • Excellence – Delivering high-quality, accurate, and mission-driven work
  • Adaptability – Responding effectively to evolving systems, policies, and community needs
  • Trust – Building confidence through transparency, reliability, and respect

JOB SUMMARY

The Shelter Client Advocate (Advocate) is primarily responsible for representing homeless shelter residents at administrative hearings relating to their shelter residence and supporting the Program Director in advocacy services and program administration. Through the Shelter Client Advocacy program EDC monitors shelter conditions, ensures fair application of shelter rules, and defends residents who are at risk of being denied shelter services.

The Shelter Client Advocate helps clients navigate the shelter grievance and arbitration process and works to resolve conflicts between residents and shelter providers in order to prevent shelter evictions. The Advocate brings empathy, respect, and sound judgement to every client interaction. The role requires the ability to communicate clearly and navigate sensitive situations with clients who are often in crisis, with care and respect.
