Throughout January, the Mayor’s Public Engagement Unit will hold free events citywide to provide New Yorkers with individualized and in-person assistance related to tenants’ rights, affordable housing, homelessness prevention and reduction, healthcare, and civic engagement. Follow @MayorsPEU on Twitter for updates and more details on events.
The Tenant Support Unit (TSU) proactively informs tenants of their housing rights, identifies housing-related issues and connects New Yorkers to a range of resources, including HRA’s anti-eviction legal assistance and HPD’s home repairs program. Learn more: nyc.gov/TenantSupportUnit
