Homelessness Prevention in NYC

 
  HOMEBASE  
 
 

HomeBase is designed to help individuals and families avoid the trauma of homelessness by helping overcome the immediate problems and obstacles that could result in the loss of housing. Program services are crafted to meet the unique needs of each individual or family and to help meet the demands of maintaining a household. HomeBase has recently expanded its service citywide.

When you come to a HomeBase office, you will be assigned a case manager who will coordinate all services. Some of these services will be provided directly through HomeBase and others will be provided by our community partners. Some of the services that are available to qualified households include:

  • Family mediation
  • Landlord mediation
  • Household budgeting skills
  • Legal services
  • Short-term financial assistance
  • Mental health and substance abuse services

Disabled Rent Increase Exemption



Disabled Rent Increase Exemption

(Column: Ask the Housing Experts)

Daniel Stern
Elizabeth Peterson, Housing Consultant, Center for Urban Community Services & Daniel J. Stern, Housing Consultant, Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS)

A new exemption from rent increases is available to thousands of low-income tenants in New York City with disabilities who are currently living in rent-regulated housing. The new program, called the Disabled Rent Increase Exemption, or DRIE, exempts people with disabilities from future rent increases as long as their rent is more than one-third of the household's disposable income. DRIE is patterned after another popular program available only to senior citizens, called the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption program (SCRIE).

Mayor Bloomberg signed the DRIE bill into New York City law on August 9th, 2005. This new program became available in early October 2005.
