Mission: The Springfield-Eugene Tenant Association (SETA) is a 501c3 non-profit, public service organization that is dedicated to renters’ rights and interests. We accomplish our goals by assisting, educating, and empowering tenants in Lane County and beyond. We believe that housing rights are human rights, and that affordable and accessible housing are the foundation of any strong community. 

Vision: A world where all people have equitable access to safe and affordable housing
 
Values: In order to bring this vision to life, we…
  • focus on tenant experiences and realities 
  • act honestly, work transparently, and come prepared with thoroughly-researched information
  • reduce financial, legal, social, and systemic barriers
  • use our platform to amplify the voices of the unheard
  • validate and center the needs and experiences of underrepresented identities 
  • care for our neighbors through building a “people-first” community
  • stay informed and engaged through lifelong learning and embracing feedback
  • adapt to new challenges and changing climates
