About
CHTU is an autonomous, democratic union of tenants who live in Crown Heights and the
surrounding neighborhoods. Founded in 2013 by a multiracial, multi-generational group of
tenants who believed that long term and new tenants needed to come together to collectively
fight gentrification, harassment, displacement, disrepair, and illegal rent overcharges.
Membership is made up of individual tenants and building-wide tenant associations – no
landlords or agents of landlords allowed. Member-funded and member-run, we maintain
financial and political independence from government officials, developers, and nonprofits.
This enables us to remain accountable, first and foremost, to each other and fellow tenants in
the neighborhood. Non-hierarchical, we make decisions democratically at our general
membership meetings, in our committees, and in our buildings.
