Tenants Rights Funds Cut By City

Unfortunately, the money that the City promised the community to pay for tenant anti-displacement programs after the 2005 rezoning is being cut. NAG is one of seven groups in an affordable housing collaborative serving Greenpoint and Williamsburg that stand to lose a significant chunk of funds. We use that money to pay for staff that work to help people stay in their homes. Without it, we will have to let staff go.

These cuts are an outrageous reneging on promises that the City made during the rezoning. We don't have our waterfront parks that were promised and now we're about to lose the tenant services that are supposed to be mitigating displacement that the City's own studies said had to be mitigated.
