Political Organization - Santa Cruz, California, United States
SUR is a student and tenant-led organization dedicated to defending and furthering tenants' rights to secure and affordable housing. SUR was formed by UC Santa Cruz students and locals to address a housing crisis that negatively impacts students and non-students in the Santa Cruz area. Santa Cruz County is the 5th most unaffordable area in the U.S. Tenants experience extreme rent-burden, overcrowding, and unsafe housing conditions. Additionally, and correlating with the larger Bay Area trend, Santa Cruz low-income communities and historically marginalized communities are in danger of unjust eviction and displacement. Full mission statement and goals coming soon.
