Screening 5: Tenants Take Over.When their landlord put their 21-unit building at 272 Caroline St S in Hamilton up for sale, the tenants formed an association, fearing rent hikes or renovictions under a new owner. They organized, fundraised, and, with municipal and philanthropic support, bought the building in 2024 and converted it into a non-profit housing co-operative.
Tenants Take Over follows the campaign, is a blueprint for tenant groups facing housing uncertainty, and shows what is possible when working-class people take control of their homes: better conditions, deeper affordability, real community.
Screening followed by a discussion with Brussels-based housing co-operative Coop Haute 51.
→ Monday 7 dec. 6:30pm.
→ Rue du Poinçon 53, 1000 Brussels.
