Housing Advocacy
EIS’s Housing Advocacy Program addresses housing issues and seeks out populations that are not served by existing programs. Our staff Housing Advocate provides advocacy to all Manhattan residents in need of housing assistance, regardless of age and family situation. Working with our Benefit Entitlement Counselor, the Housing Advocate is able to inform individual clients of their rights and responsibilities, entitlement to government benefits, and stay apprised of affordable housing opportunities available for rent as well as for purchase.
Other services provided by the Housing Advocate include: assistance with payback of rental arrears and individual counseling for clients’ housing issues.
