Housing Court Answers

Housing Court Answers educates and empowers NYC tenants and small homeowners through Information Tables and a hotline. We can explain Housing Court and  housing law, rent arrears assistance, and homeless prevention guidance. Over the years, we have fought to reform the tenant screening process, establish a right to counsel and require the courts to post basic rights and responsibilities. We are the major voice in reforming the NYC Housing Courts. 

We also conduct trainings for community groups, unions, elected officials and others on Housing Court procedures, eviction prevention programs and housing law. And, last but most important, we fight every day for the rights of unrepresented people in Housing Court.
