Individueel Bewonersadvies Amsterdam Noord - het IBAN,

what is best to use here? "TENANT" works, but given the cozy Amsterdam-Noord atmo., it is perhaps more appropriate to use the word "DWELLER"?
Thanks.

(IBAN) resident advisor


Explanation:
A resident assistant (or resident advisor), commonly shortened to RA is a trained peer leader who supervises those living in a residence hall or group housing facility. The majority of RAs work at colleges, universities, or residential mental health and substance abuse facilities
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_assistant

Amsterdam-Noord heeft een eigen methode ontwikkeld om inwoners in een achterstandssituatie vooruit te helpen. Bewonersadviseurs gaan de deuren langs om problemen op het gebied van werk, inkomen en leefbaarheid te inventariseren en mee te denken over oplossingen.

neutral  Barend van Zadelhoff: Zoals je definitie aangeeft gaat het hier om iemand die toezicht houdt op een groep mensen binnen één verblijfplaats (vandaar "resident"), zeg maar een "studentenflat" of een "zorginstelling" Het gaat bij deze vraag om een wijk of buurt.
