How to Comply with Updated Tenant Participation Requirements

Tenant participation has the potential to improve the overall management of a site in both quality and cost effectiveness, to protect resident interests, to create community and a social support system on-site, to empower residents as a group and individually, and to give to individual residents the opportunity to build marketable skills based on their participation. For these reasons, HUD encourages and supports tenant organizations and has implemented rules protecting the right of residents to organize and advocate for their best interests.
