History

The Greater Syracuse Tenants Network (Tenants Network) supports housing in Central New York by assisting low income tenants, to obtain and preserve safe and affordable rental housing that. The Tenants Network’s approach is to organize tenants into associations at individual low income properties to represent the their interests with the management, supervisory agencies such as DHCR and HUD, and in community, such as at forums such as TNT. The key to this approach is providing leadership development training, information, education and counseling to tenant leaders and individuals, who then become the leaders of the tenant associations. The Tenants Network provides counseling, outreach and referrals to assist tenants to transition into home ownership.  The Tenants Network conducts training for landlords and human service workers.
