ABOUT

Taking Action Together

We are a group of tenants from Washington DC Navy Yard Brookfield Properties, including the Estate, Foundry, Guild, Twelve12, and Vela, who are organizing against Brookfield's poor management and treatment of residents.

Why a
Tenant Group?

We started our tenant group in response to ongoing issues with Brookfield’s property management, including reduced services, excessive utility charges, and discriminatory practices. Many residents have faced a decline in essential maintenance and services, leading to deteriorating and unsafe living conditions. Additionally, unjustified utility charges have placed an unfair financial burden on tenants. Moreover, instances of discrimination have further exacerbated the challenges within our community. By coming together, we aim to address these problems, advocate for fair treatment, and ensure that all tenants have a safe and equitable living environment.

Our Goals

As a united tenant group, our main goal is to address and rectify the issues stemming from Brookfield's poor property management. By advocating for our collective rights, we strive to hold Brookfield accountable, improve communication between tenants and management, and foster a supportive community where everyone's concerns are addressed and respected.

Together, we can create positive change and enhance the quality of life for all tenants.

Our Collective Agreements

To ensure a harmonious and effective community, we've established a set of collective agreements. These guidelines help us create a safe and respectful space where everyone's voice can be heard. By focusing on our shared goals and fostering an environment of mutual respect, we can work together more effectively and make a significant impact.

Read on to learn about the core agreements that guide our actions.

Safe Participation for All

We want everyone to feel safe and welcome when they join us. Every participant should feel secure and respected in our collective time together.

Unified Against Brookfield

Our focus is on addressing broader issues with Brookfield, not on individual neighbor-to-neighbor disputes. Together, we can make a greater impact.

Respectful Communication

Everyone’s voice matters! We agree to listen to each other without interruptions, letting one person speak at a time to keep our discussions respectful and effective.

Consensus-Driven Actions

We believe in making decisions that everyone supports. By aiming for consensus, we ensure that our actions reflect the collective will and strength of our group.
