SOHO's Legal Defense Fund

How you can make a difference

While SOHO always seeks to avoid going to court by using other advocacy tools such as negotiation, reasoning and education to encourage better decisions that protect our historic sites, neighborhoods, and landscapes, sometimes it becomes necessary to litigate to protect our region's historic resources.

SOHO's Legal Defense Fund is one of the essential means in which we carry out litigation and legal advocacy to ensure the effectiveness of preservation laws. The legal fund helps us to respond as needed to help communities throughout the county, to assist in protecting homes and businesses, neighborhoods, and our collective history and heritage.

Legal cases represent only a fraction of the controversies we work to resolve day to day, but they do represent one of our most powerful tools for protecting our communities.

This work would not be possible without contributions from individual supporters and we ask that you consider donating to the SOHO Legal Defense Fund today. You can make your donation easily and securely online at https://www.sohosandiego.org/giving/legal_defense.htm, by phone or by mailing your tax-deductible donation to SOHO, 2476 San Diego Avenue, San Diego CA 92110.
