We conduct grass-roots outreach to develop resident leaders while maximizing regulatory compliance and eligibility for HUD Tenant Participation funds. Whether you need to hold a major city-wide election or a single property council election, we can design and execute a plan that suits your needs.
Where We Work
We currently serve housing authorities in Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our team has experience working with some of the largest housing authorities in the country, managing complex, multi-property elections involving thousands of eligible voters.
Work with us
We take on new engagements year round. Tell us what is ahead, an election cycle to run, a Resident Advisory Board to stand up, a tenant participation fund to put in order, or a compliance question you would rather settle early, and we will set out what the work involves and what it costs.

If your housing authority has an election under way, your authority's page carries the applications, the election manual, polling locations, and every date you need.
