Description
Founded in 1982, the Community Training and Resource Center
(CTRC)is a champion of tenants' rights in New York City. We examine housing
policy issues from a community framework, researching and analyzing the
effects of the housing policies of the public, private and nonprofit sectors
on neighborhoods, tenants and owners. We base our research, analysis,
educational and training activities on our extensive community organizing
expertise. We present our information in workshops, public forums, and
publications. Housing preservation is central to our work: we are leading
proponents of maintaining affordable housing for tenants in low and
moderate-income neighborhoods. CTRC works as a team of seasoned
organizers. Housing and community groups come to us for training,
information, and technical assistance on housing issues. We have built a
strong constituency of neighborhood leaders, City officials, academics and
innovative donors, who look to us to be in the forefront of
the struggle to preserve housing and neighborhoods for low-income New
Yorkers. CTRC works city-wide with neighborhood housing groups and tenant
associations, social service agencies serving the elderly, immigrants, the
disabled, people with HIV/AIDS, single parent families, youth, and the
homeless. The Community Training and Resource Center provides training and
technical assistance to tenants who are the most affected by changing
government policies, unsafe housing conditions and rising rents: children
and families, senior citizens, and recent immigrants. We conduct workshops
for housing groups and social service agencies that enable these agencies to
meet the information and advocacy needs of the communities they serve.
