Tenant and Block Associations: We organize residents to advocate for improvements and repairs in their buildings, and around safety and sanitation issues on their blocks.
Help with Housing Concerns: We help landlords and tenants to understand their rights and responsibilities under the Housing Code, to secure housing benefits and to mediate difficult housing situations.
Homeownership Counseling: As part of the New York Mortgage Coalition, we connect prospective home buyers with ten banks dedicated to increasing minority and low income homeownership and help buyers understand mortgage products and credit reports and obtain affordable mortgage products, closing costs and down payment assistance grants.
First Time Homebuyers Workshops: We run a free, four part workshop series teaching smart home buying practices - - qualifying for a mortgage, savings and budgeting for homeownership, legal aspects of homebuying, inspection of the house prior to purchase and much more.
Foreclosure Prevention Counseling: Help for homeowners falling behind on mortgage payments to negotiate repayment agreements, clear up debt and avoid foreclosure.
Home Repair Loans: We package low interest rate home repair loans and grant applications to weatherize homes.
Recent Highlights:
In the last year, we have added staffing to handle the severe mortgage foreclosure crisis in our neighborhood. We worked with hundreds of homeowners to help them create plans to preserve their homes, and effectively prevented foreclosure for our clients.
