Responding to COVID-19
As New York City tenants slowly recover from the deadly impacts of COVID-19—Tenants & Neighbors is playing a crucial role is ensuring that the needs of tenants, especially, tenants who were already at-risk of being displaced due to rising rents in rapidly gentrifying New York City neighborhoods are not displaced or face eviction.
Join the Movement

Housing Justice for All
Tenants & Neighbors is a coordinating member of the Housing Justice for All (HJ4A) Upstate/Downstate Alliance that won historic rent law reform in New York state in 2019.
