Resident Council

TENANT COUNCILS

The Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers (“MHACY”) has twelve Tenant Councils.  The purpose of each Council is as follows:

• To promote the general welfare and desirable living conditions of its residents.
• To recommend solutions to problems within the responsible organizations and agencies for implementation.
• To ensure that conditions within the developments allow the residents to enjoy their apartment and neighborhood to the fullest extent possible.
• To discuss resident concerns with management and other service providers for resolution.
• To work with the Site Managers and other MHACY staff to solve individual, family, neighborhood, council and Authority problems.
• To encourage active resident participation in the Tenant Council in a positive manner, to address matters of concern to the residents and take advantage of opportunities available at the sites.
