“Tenants are facing tough times,” said Councilman Cabrera. “During these difficult economic times, many of the issues that tenants face are magnified so there is no better time to inform the community of their rights and resources available to them than now,” the Councilman continued.

In partnership with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development this forum will give tenants an opportunity to get information on issues such as getting repairs, housing court, rent subsidies, housing benefits for seniors, NYCHA housing, Section 8, dealing with bedbugs, tenants’ rights and more.

“I want to empower the community with the knowledge and resources they need to live in the best conditions possible,” said Councilman Cabrera. “I have personally visited buildings in my district where tenants weren’t getting their needs adequately met and my office was able to help. This forum is another step towards serving their needs and ensuring that our communities take advantage of the resources available to them.”
