In partnership with the Quad Cities Housing Council and the QC Housing Cluster, Quad Cities Interfaith is creating the QC Tenant Alliance (QCTA).

The Tenants Alliance will seek to support and strengthen the movement for renters’ rights in the Quad Cities. For further information about the QCTA or how to get involved, contact Mayra Hernandez at 641-990-2118 or Mayra@qcinterfaith.org
