Dozens protest eviction of 3 disabled seniors from apartment in SF: 'Where are we going to go?'

""If you've ever been displaced, you know the profound toll having your housing under threat takes on you," said one advocate speaker."

""I'm so impressed they're doing this for us," said tenant Brian Harrington. Harrington was surprised to see the protest rally out front. He said he and his two longtime roommates have health issues. One has lived there since 1977. All of them are being evicted by their landlord."

""We're in serious trouble, because I'm 69. I'm the youngest one. I just went through my 11th heart surgery and these guys are seven years older than me, my roommates. Where are we going to go?," Harrington said."

""They're facing eviction like many seniors in our city, honestly, at an attempt to get them out of their rent-controlled apartments, so the rent can go back to market rate," said Eleanor Allen-Henderson from Tenant and Neighborhood Councils or TANC."

Dozens of tenants' rights advocates marched in Noe Valley to support three elderly residents facing eviction from rent-controlled apartments. The seniors include long-term tenants with health issues and one resident who has lived there since 1977. Advocates say landlords are attempting to regain market-rate rents, displacing vulnerable seniors on fixed incomes. Protesters and Tenant and Neighborhood Councils (TANC) are trying to stop the evictions and highlight the toll housing instability takes on displaced people. Tenants reported punctual rent payments and fear of being unable to find suitable housing due to age and medical needs.
