For over 15 years, The Off-Campus Housing and Job Resource Centre has been an integral part of the Concordia campus. We offer a multitude of services, all designed to give students the best shot at thriving in a University environment. HOJO works to empower, educate and support the Concordia community by providing reliable housing and employment information, resources and referrals.
Our office is located in the Hall Building at Concordia University, in office H-224. We offer our drop-in services throughout the week, with a team of Hojo Assistants that are well-informed on Housing and Job rights. We also regularly host workshops, table at University events, and collaborate with other organizations on social projects. Our services are always confidential, honest and free of charge.
The transparent exchange of information, ideas, knowledge and values is essential to the achievement of our mandate. Our team is consistently expanding and updating our understanding of the housing and job rights and responsibilities. We believe that the more well-informed students are, the more they’re able to navigate their off-campus lives. Our service is centered on students’ needs. We strive to support students in learning about and exercising their rights as tenants and employees.
The management of HOJO is done with openness and integrity; we feel accountable to the students of Concordia University, and it shows. The personalized interaction offered from our staff is a major strength in dealing with sometimes difficult situations. As an organization, we recognize that students have unique needs, with respect to their time and budgetary constraints. We welcome constructive feedback, and believe it is continuous essential to maintaining the high quality of our services.
The HOJO team is able to work one-on-one with students, to create a plan of action that best serves their specific situations. There is a legal process for everything, and it’s important to our team that students follow the right protocol. We walk students through step-by-step, and even offer accompaniment to the Regie du Logement when necessary. Throughout the year, we implement planned campaigns on relevant issues to keep the student body as informed as possible.
