Housing Recovery & Resiliency
The Center has been a leader in storm recovery and resiliency for homeowners since Hurricane Sandy hit New York City in October 2012.
Through temporary housing services, the Center helps residents in the Build It Back program find places to stay while their homes are rebuilt. The Center pays landlords or brokers directly on behalf of homeowners. Homeowners can also search our Clearinghouse of available units. The program is administered by the Center and New York Disaster Interfaith Services, with housing funds provided through the City.
