Greater Syracuse Tenants Network

The Greater Syracuse Tenants Network (Tenants Network) supports housing in Central New York by assisting low-income tenants to obtain and preserve safe and affordable rental housing. Its approach is to organize tenants into associations at individual low-income properties to represent their interests with the management, supervisory agencies such as DHCR and HUD, and in community forums. The key to this approach is providing leadership development training, information, education and counseling to tenant leaders and individuals, who then become the leaders of the tenant associations. The Tenants Network provides counseling, outreach and referrals to assist tenants to transition into home ownership. It conducts training for landlords and human service workers.

Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties

Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a global, nonprofit housing organization. They partner with first-time homebuyers in our community to help them build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homebuyers invest “Sweat Equity” hours by working alongside volunteers to build their own home or the homes of other Habitat families. In addition to construction, homeowners-to-be earn Sweat Equity by volunteering at events, assisting with administrative tasks, and taking financial and homeownership training classes. Children can even help their parents earn Sweat Equity by getting good grades in school. Upon completion of construction, Habitat homeowners purchase their house and pay an affordable mortgage. These mortgage payments are used to fund construction of more Habitat homes.
