WE, the Delaware Statewide Association of Tenants, take full
responsibility in making sure that this body becomes a totally functioning organization.
We willingly dedicate our time and energy to the Primary Goal of helping it to become
fully developed and trained in order to become the spokesperson for all tenants in
Delaware.
Our objectives to accomplish this are: first, to organize a valid
tenant council at each public housing site; and second, to assist tenants to create or
obtain work that leads to self-sufficiency.
WE realize that we can not undertake this huge assignment without
the backing and support of the Delaware Housing Coalition so we invite DHC to continue as
our partner in accomplishing our purpose.
WE recognize that there is more strength in numbers, therefore we
need the support of every Delaware Housing resident to join us, so that collectively our
voices will ring throughout the State of Delaware.
WE invite all with the courage and willingness to shoulder this
responsibility to join us today.
We acknowledge that real leadership needs to be developed, and
this Board needs the training and technical assistance that only experienced advisors can
give. Therefore, we request that the Center for Community Change continue to prepare us to
unite all Delaware tenants under one umbrella, as one voice.
THE time has passed for fighting and dividing ourselves. Today is
the first step toward Self-Sufficiency.
