Tenants take the lead!

Tenant engagement is at the core of a sustainable and equitable housing sector. It is important for those in housing need to participate in decisions that affect them. Tenants and community members must be better represented and able to participate in housing policy and housing project decision-making.

The Community-Based Tenant Initiative fund hopes to contribute to the process of turning tenants from customers or service recipients into active participants in the housing world. We strive to create opportunities where tenants organize to develop or advocate for more and better community housing, to participate in governance and in developing housing programs and to inform new policies that take residents’ needs, hopes and rights into consideration.
