Collection Description
From modest beginnings in 1987, the Greater Newark Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Tenants Coalition, a founding member of the National Alliance of Housing and Urban Development Tenants, eventually grew from an initial 8 buildings to represent tenants in 60 housing complexes. The Coalition lobbied on behalf of tenants, educated tenants as to their legal rights, provided information on health and safety issues, trained tenant advocates, and generally worked closely with tenant groups from privately-owned apartment complexes in Newark that received assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Key figures in the organization were community organizer Nancy Zak and former housing inspector and longtime tenant advocate Frank Hutchins. Hutchins served for some years as Director of the Coalition. The Coalition and its major projects operated out of offices at 944 Broad St.
