The Residents Council is composed of individuals who live in Bickerdike housing. They have been elected by their peers who live in each of the 20 geographical clusters containing approximately 30 to 97 housing units.

While the Residents Council has an elected membership, its subcommittees are open to any Bickerdike resident who wishes to participate. These include:

  • Tenant Initiatives
  • Garden & Open Space
  • Newsletter
  • Holiday Dinner
  • Family Day

In addition, the Council also works in conjunction with and provides support for the Affordable Housing Committee. For more information about Bickerdike’s Residents Council, contact us at 773.278.5669.
