Saint Paul, MN — The West Side Community Organization (WSCO) is developing a strategy that can improve and preserve naturally occurring affordable housing in the west side of Saint Paul, while providing a pathway for collective ownership by tenants. WSCO is developing a tenant union, which will organize and train tenant leaders to manage a trust that supports a tenant-driven ownership structure. WSCO will collaborate with Trust Neighborhoods to acquire and rehabilitate naturally occurring affordable housing, and will collaborate with Land Bank Twin Cities to grow tenant ownership of properties.
