Town Hall Meeting
Community Town Hall Meeting
In response to the recent announcement regarding rental rate increases and changes to our fee schedule for the upcoming fiscal year (2024-2025), the Board of Directors invites you to a Town Hall Meeting.
- Date: Thursday, May 23rd, 2024
- Time: 5:30pm – 6:30pm
- Location: Kitchen, located upstairs in the Community Center (1250 Fifield Ave).
As stewards of our beloved co-op, we understand the importance of transparent communication and community engagement. We recognize that the decision to adjust rental rates and fees impacts each of us, and we are committed to ensuring that every member has the opportunity to voice their questions, concerns, and suggestions.
During this gathering, we will provide insights into the rationale behind the proposed changes, including the factors driving the adjustments, such as increased University Requirements and other unavoidable expenses. Our management team and Board of Directors have diligently crafted a budget aimed at maintaining CTC's vitality and sustainability while upholding our mission as a member-driven, nonprofit organization.
Moreover, we reaffirm our unwavering dedication to providing well-maintained and affordable housing for all co-op residents, particularly our co-op members. We remain steadfast in our commitment to offering rental rates and fees that are below market standards, ensuring that CTC remains an accessible and inclusive community for all.
This Town Hall Meeting serves as an open forum for dialogue and collaboration. We encourage all members to attend, ask questions, and share their perspectives. Your feedback is invaluable as we navigate these changes together, ensuring that CTC continues to thrive as a vibrant and supportive community for years to come.
We look forward to your participation and constructive engagement at this important event.
