LHA Board and LTO Relationships Workshop and Forum from the Mel King Institute

This workshop will be a collaboration between the Mel King Institute and MassUnion of Public Housing Tenants. Presenters Maria Fernandes-Dominique (Mass Union Leadership Development Director) and Victor Nascimento (Mel King Institute Leadership Development Program Manager) will review the structure, function, and life cycle of Local Tenant Organizations (LTOs) and the regulatory guidelines governing the relationship between Local Housing Authorities (LHAs) and LTOS, including obligations and ethical boundaries. Following, there will be an open forum discussion encouraging participants to share experiences navigating this relationship, suggesting how to strengthen it, and considering ideas for future collaboration.
This workshop is free and dedicated to all LHA Board Members or LHA staff.
