Ottawa ACORN: The Fight for the Right to Housing and a No Displacement CBA in Herongate
Resource Type: Housing / Tenant Unions
Community benefits agreements (CBAs) are legally enforceable contracts signed by community groups and a private developer or government agency. CBAs can result in a range of benefits for community members, such as jobs and training; community amenities, support for local business, affordable housing and other provisions.
As a community organization of low and moderate income families and individuals fighting for social and economic justice, ACORN is invested in ensuring community benefits agreements meet the needs of the communities we work with.
