SHOUT (Supportive Housing Organized and United Tenants) is an organization led by tenants and applicants with lived experience in supportive housing, as well as allied social workers, community organizers, attorneys and advocates. We do not include supportive housing providers or employees as members, in order to create a safe and confidential space for tenants and applicants. If you are a tenant or applicant interested in joining SHOUT, please fill out our membership form, at: https://shoutnyc.org/contact.
SHOUT is gathering information about supportive housing providers and landlords. We will be using this
information to track patterns in tenant experiences across programs and
providers, and to inform advocacy with elected officials and policymakers to
improve supportive housing. This survey can be completed by tenants, advocates, and allies.
SHOUT will endeavor to
anonymize the data we use to the extent possible. We know that retaliation by supportive housing providers is real, and we take it very seriously!
Here is what we will and won't do with your survey responses:
We will share the names of
housing providers/programs and the addresses of buildings (but not individual
units).
We will provide summary information about tenant experiences with your provider to the agencies that oversee supportive housing, elected officials, and other law and policymakers. This may include quotes or summaries of information provided in your survey.
We will not ask for or share your name, your unit address, or your email address with anyone.
We will not contact your provider directly.
If you do not wish to identify your supportive housing provider or
address, you are under no obligation to do so.
