City asks landlords to rent to Sandy victims
Program to reimburse building owners
Superstorm Sandy victims whose homes are being rebuilt are getting help from the de Blasio administration in finding temporary housing during the construction.
The Mayor’s Office of Housing Recovery announced the procurement for new temporary housing service providers for applicants in the city’s Build it Back program who need to temporarily relocate during the reconstruction of their homes.
The office is asking landlords in Sandy-impacted neighborhoods to offer apartments for Build it Back applicants to rent on a temporary basis.
