http://baylegal.org/ and http://www.ebclc.org/
I personally haven't had to use either, but my housemate did go to the East Bay Community Legal Clinic for a debt collection issue, and they were amazing.

For a more general website try http://lawhelpca.org/

Good luck!

Thanks. I think it ended up being baylegal, both of us left messages there, they called her back and set her up with an appointment, she met with someone and got advice including a draft of a response letter to the landlord. A+ very helpful! We are not nearly done but have a great start and will use them again!

Try the SF Tenant's Union. I cannot post a link, but if you search for them you will find them.
