Resident Voices, a Milestone in Grassroots Power From Tenants to Residents

In a special meeting in February 1990, the Northgate-Greenfield Tenants Association changed its bylaws and its name.  While a name change for the whole complex had been considered (options included Whispering Oaks or North Ave Park Place), “Northgate” won in a landslide. So the tenants’ association became the Northgate- Greenfield Residents Association (NGRA), reflecting the growth of their influence over how the property was run.
