Chair: Amanda

Stamps Place

Group discusses that non-profits are placing bid on Stamp’s Place. Stamp's Tenant's Council has no input. The non-profits have lower standards than BC Housing.  Group discusses that the non profits have issues related to insecure housing, illegal rental agreements, lack of maintenance, and violations of tenant’s privacy, as well as discriminatory policies. Group discusses that we should circulate the list of rules and policies that most people would find unacceptable. Non profit's rules found to be a violation of RTB twice and they’re still appealing.

Aboriginal Committee

Group discusses that DTES has highest demographic of Aboriginal people, and it seems is the only resident’s association that city does not help to facilitate funding from film industry for.  Issue tabled until Matt has meeting at city hall.
