Through housing, financial, and legal assistance, we help tenants navigate housing court to resolve critical repairs and prevent evictions.
Our programs' Housing Resource Centers serve the housing needs of New Yorkers. When necessary repairs aren't made, residents must make do without essentials like gas and heat. Economic hardship leaves many on the brink of eviction and homelessness. Through housing, financial, and legal assistance, we have helped thousands of New Yorkers resolve the issues they are facing to remain in their homes.
Housing Resource Centers currently operate in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and East Harlem

Housing is a human right. What if we designed our systems—beginning with Housing Court—to embody that?

In this special episode of New Thinking, hear a profile of one of those efforts in Brooklyn, led by our Red Hook Community Justice Center.
Finding support for housing concerns is often an uphill battle—especially for the thousands of New Yorkers living in public housing. But there's power in community.
