The Bank Street Community Alliance is part of a larger project called Synergy.
 

This project is done in collaboration with the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). The Synergy project is a community-based research project that works closely with tenants to understand and improve their housing environment. 

Synergy uses an approach where tenants are part of the process. This means residents help share their experiences, identify challenges, and work together on solutions.

This model was first developed by UQAM and has been used in several public housing communities across Québec. 

Through this work, we have already learned a lot about well-being, housing conditions, and what matters most to tenants. This learning helps guide the work we do together at 1365 Bank Street.
