Take Action

We believe that at the root of the problem—displacement of low and moderate income people from their homes and communities—is one of the major power imbalances that exists between the real estate industry and tenants. We believe that one way to correct this power imbalance is through grassroots tenant organizing. 

For this reason, our core activity is providing organizing support and technical assistance to tenants who want to organize campaigns to secure safe and livable housing conditions and organizing to keep their building affordable and/or broader policy or legislative campaigns that address the underlying causes of loss of affordability.

Building a Strong and Sustainable Tenant Association 

We help tenant leaders  develop new tenant associations and strengthen existing tenant associations. We build strategic alliances among tenant associations working on the same or similar issues. We also provide organizing support to community-based organizations that want to organize their communities around housing issues.
