As many tenants would have noticed in this year’s Tenant Satisfaction Survey, there were a lot of questions on the background of our tenants. We asked questions about ethnicity, income, gender, and more. While these questions were optional and anonymous like the rest of the survey, we can understand that tenants might be wondering why CCOC would ask for this information. We would like to take the time to explain why these questions are important to us, and the value they have in our ability to understand our tenants better.
