504 How to support challenging tenants
Dominion Ballroom South, second floor
In addition to their core mandate of providing
affordable housing, today's non-profit housing
landlords are often faced with the need to create
a support network for tenants with complex
barriers to maintaining a successful tenancy.
These tenants may be fighting addiction,
navigating the mental health systems, and/or
engaging in dangerous or anti-social behaviours
such as stealing, lying or hoarding. Join Rainy
River District Women’s Shelter of Hope to learn
practical tips on how to effectively work with and
support challenging tenants.
