The Metropolitan Council on Housing is a small, New York City–based tenants' rights membership organization. Founded more than fifty years ago, it operates on a mutual-aid model that mobilizes tenants to defend their individual rights and advocate for changes to housing policy. Its programs are run by members and include a free tenants' rights hotline and a walk-in clinic that serve thousands of New York City tenants each year. The group also publishes a monthly newspaper about the tenant movement and produces a weekly radio show on housing issues, emphasizing tenant leadership and collective action.
