    Community Justice Is... Empowering Tenants with Knowledge

    Our Bronx Community Justice Center partnered with the NYC Human Resources Administration, the Bronx Defenders, and our Community Justice Connect team to help public housing residents in Mott Haven build knowledge around rent, repairs, lease renewals, and preventing evictions. The session was part of a series of housing workshops we’re hosting across the city for NYCHA tenants to get connected to vital resources and find support with their housing needs.

    Fact Sheet: Housing Justice

    Housing is a human right and the foundation for strong communities. Access to a safe and affordable home creates economic and community stability. This fact sheet highlights the challenges and how our staff are working to prevent evictions, help landlords address health hazards, and increase tenant financial and legal empowerment. By addressing issues early, we keep people safely housed and avoid legal system involvement that can affect employment, family security, and future access to stable housing.
