Equality for Flatbush believes housing should be a right, not a privilege!
Community & Legal Resources
Equality for Flatbush believes housing should be a right, NOT a privilege! This is why we organize tenants – rent-stabilized and un-regulated – to fight against harassment and displacement. We partner with and support the campaigns tenant rights groups across the city. We also compile information in order to connect Brooklyn residents to reliable housing and legal resources. We believe that all of us – low-to-middle income, long-time and new residents, people of color and white people – have a stake in the urgent struggle to save affordable housing in Brooklyn.
If you are a Brooklyn residential or commercial tenant, or homeowner experiencing harassment or need housing, legal or organizing resources, contact us below.
