Author Archives: Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario
The Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO) is a specialty community legal clinic, funded by Legal Aid Ontario, with a province-wide mandate to serve low-income tenants across the province. The clinic also coordinates the Tenant Duty Counsel Program (TDCP) across Ontario, which provides legal information and assistance to self-represented tenants appearing at the Landlord and Tenant Board. As part of the Your Way Forward project, ACTO provides legal services, case management and limited counselling to tenants experiencing housing legal issues as a result of gender-based violence (GBV). To access our services, tenants must be referred to us by community agencies providing services to survivors of GBV.
