• New York City tenants face many difficulties, as a shortage
in housing is becoming more visible in the city and renters
are challenged in maintaining their homes.
• In 2014, there were 28,820 families and individuals evicted
from their homes and the numbers have varied throughout
the years.
• Evictions contribute to homelessness, where 60,000 people
currently live within the New York City shelter system,
further escalating the growing housing problem in the city.
Many tenants are unaware of their rights and in order to
help them in the process of keeping their homes, more
enticing and engaging resources should be provided for
tenants in New York.

Apart from the constant consultation with
staff members in the office, one approach to
evaluate the successfulness of the project is
to survey constituents about the proposed
new booklet. This will include asking
incoming constituents if they would
approve of a booklet that summarizes
tenants’ rights in New York City and
outside.
