Supporting Tenant Needs
Housing Services aims to support our tenants to live in community-based housing. In order to respond to the diverse needs of our tenants, we hold regular tenant meetings and provide newsletters to educate them and provide access to community information. We also refer tenants to our community partners to ensure they have access to any necessary supports.
