It Takes a Team: Partnering to Support Complex Tenant Needs

Many community housing providers are asking the same question: How can we better support tenants with increasingly complex needs? 

This session showcases practical partnership approaches that are helping providers build stronger teams of support around tenants and connect them with the right services at the right time.  

Through examples from Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation and Durham Region Non-Profit Housing Corporation, presenters will explore how collaboration with health care, policing, social services, and community organizations is bringing supports directly into housing communities and improving outcomes for tenants.

Hear practical strategies for building trusted cross-sector partnerships, coordinating services, and embedding supports such as case management, life-skills coaching, crisis response, and coordinated service delivery. 

Join us to learn how to: 

  • Build and strengthen partnerships with health, safety, and community service organizations to better support tenants. 
  • Implement proactive, on-site support models that improve tenant stability, reduce crises, and strengthen tenant-provider relationships. 
  • Apply lessons from successful community housing initiatives to address complex tenant needs within your own organization. 

Leave with practical, adaptable approaches to strengthen partnerships, enhance tenant supports, and improve housing stability in your community.
