Public Awareness: provides press releases, social media campaigns, interviews & articles to highlight the challenges & contributions of landlords.

Member Engagement & Support: hosts networking events, provides educational materials, organizes meetings, & social events to foster connections.

Coalition Building: partners with organizations like housing advocacy groups, provincial & national associations plus real estate organizations to find common ground & work towards shared goals.
