STT is currently implementing four related projects: 1) Community Mapping, Housing Improvement, and Research Project; 2) Land and Housing Rights Project; 3) Community Empowerment Project, and 4) Community Media and ICT Project. Each year, to support the advocacy work of STT and other partner organizations, STT undertakes research into key issues affecting urban poor communities under the threat of eviction.
