How To Get Help If You Live in an Apartment With Project-Based Rental Assistance
Last week, City Limits released a three-part investigation into New York City’s Project-Based Rental Assistance Program, which helps roughly 100,000 low-income residents afford housing in buildings across all five boroughs.
But in a complicated system of property managers, agencies, and subcontractors, it can be hard for tenants to navigate. We found residents struggling to reach their building management, get repairs done, and force government agencies to take enforcement seriously.
Molly Rockett, a supervising attorney at Legal Services NYC who runs their working group on Project-Based Section 8 Rental Assistance, sat down with City Limits to discuss the program and how tenants can get help.
What's ahead this week in housing: Open House New York, which celebrates the city’s architecture and public spaces, returns this weekend with dozens of events and drop-in tours.
