Funds Available to Organize Section 8 Tenants in Your Community!
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded a $10 million Tenant Education and Outreach (TEO) grant to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) and its partner, the Mass Alliance of HUD Tenants (MAHT), to sub-award up to $300,000 over three years to local tenant groups and local community-based organizations to organize Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) Section 8 tenants in their communities.
The goal of the TEO program is to build the capacity of tenants to be active partners in the preservation and improvement of affordable rental housing for low-income people. The program will empower tenant groups to work productively with property management and owners, hold management accountable for property conditions, improve management and oversight of these multifamily properties, and advocate for the preservation of affordability.
Applications Open Soon!
