Homeowner Assistance Fund:
The Application window opens on January 3rd. The State expects to receive significantly more applications than can be funded by the program. Applications will be processed in the order they were received. Application submission does not guarantee you will receive financial assistance. You cannot submit an application now, but you can prepare all the documents ready to upload and you can collect all the information you will need to have when the application window opens.
All the instructions are available on the NY State website: https://www.nyhomeownerfund.org/application-guide
If you have any questions, you are invited to call the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council at 718-771-9000.
