The Metropolitan Council on Housing is a tenants’ rights membership organization made up of New York City tenants who believe in our motto of “housing for people, not profit.” We formed 60 years ago to fights for a city where everyone has access to safe, decent, affordable housing. We organize tenants to stand up not only for their individual rights, but also for changes to our housing policies.

We serve the one million NYC households who are rent stabilized or regulated, particularly those who most vulnerable to displacement – working class and low-income New Yorkers.
