Resident Council Elections — Property-level elections to establish or renew resident councils
Special Elections — Recall elections, vacancy elections, and other special proceedings
HUD Compliance Consulting — Tenant participation fund management, policy review, and regulatory guidance
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.
