What have we achieved so far?

We have organized tenants and neighbors to:

• Get the word out to the community at large
  
• Garner press coverage of this important issue
  
• Involve our councilwoman, and other council members in the fight
  
• Bring Mission First to the table
  
• Help with resettlement
  
• Raise funds and resources

We’ve done all this with the ultimate goal of:

• Stopping the forced eviction
  
• Returning the apartments to a livable standard
  
• Halting the sale to market-rate developers
  
• Keeping the Arvilla as affordable housing, either under Mission First, or another committed non-profit
  
• Continuing oversight and accountability for Mission First 
  
• Building a larger movement to support affordable housing in the area
