Update on Tenant Action Funds and the Launch of LIFT
As we are preparing to launch our new tenant funding program, Local Initiatives for Tenant Funding (LIFT), we want to make sure there is continued support for tenant-led initiatives in the interim. While we get ready to launch LIFT, the Tenant Action Funds will continue to be available.
Thank you for your ongoing participation and commitment to strengthening our communities!
What are Tenant Action Funds?
Tenants and tenant groups can apply for Tenant Action Funds to address local priorities. All Tenant Action Funds applications will be reviewed and approved by Interim Funding Tables.
As part of the transition to the new Tenant Engagement System, TCHC has established Interim Funding Tables, made up of representatives from each directorate – east, central, seniors and west; to help distribute Tenant Councils and Use of Space funds to tenants or tenant groups who need resources for community initiatives. Members of the Interim Funding Tables are not allowed to submit funding requests for initiatives in their community, but members of their community can apply for the Tenant Action Funds. All applicants must balance previously allocated funds before seeking additional resources. Any tenant found to be misappropriating funds will be ineligible to apply for future resources.
Once you submit your application form, it will be reviewed by the Tenant Action Funds Tables in your directorate and they will determine whether or not funding will be allocated. Tenants will receive a letter with the status of their application within two weeks after the review meeting date. If your application is approved, your local engagement Community Services Coordinator will contact you to discuss the next steps.
A maximum of $1,000 can be allocated to the project or initiative.
