Tenant Organizing: Get Organized!

The Centre for Tenant Organizing (CTO) is an online resource centre for anyone who wants to get organized to win improved housing for Toronto tenants.

The CTO is built and maintained by ACORN Canada, a national membership organization of low and moderate income families.

We developed this site to help grow the number of tenants with the skills and tools to work together to win improved rental housing in Toronto.
