New York City Offers Help to Households Owing Back Rent

摘要

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is participating in a new Financial Independence Today (FIT) initiative to improve the financial stability of public housing residents with overdue rent payments at a time when the number of tenants facing potential eviction is on the rise.rnThe two-year demonstration project will provide financial counseling and education services in six housing developments in western Queens, where there have been the greatest increases in tenants behind on their rent. The developments are Astoria, Baisely Park, Pomonok, Queensbridge, Ravenswood, and Woodside Housing.
