The San Francisco Tenants Union was formed in 1970 as a mutual aid collective. While not a union in the traditional sense, the organization is run with a collective ethos and praxis. The organization is run primarily by volunteer members, with membership dues and donations as the main source of funding for staff positions who are in charge of office management, administration, and political organizing. The staff are hired and political endorsements are made through a process facilitated by the Steering Committee, which is made of up volunteers and staff.

Important tasks include administration/finance, policy/legislative advocacy, fundraising, media, and organizing/outreach.
