It develops tenants’ skills and resources, enabling them to work productively with property management, hold them accountable for conditions, and advocate for affordability preservation. Intermediary organizations administer sub-awards to local tenant groups. This program ultimately seeks to improve the management and oversight of HUD-assisted multifamily properties by enhancing tenant engagement and advocacy efforts.
