WE’VE LIVED IN OUR APARTMENT IN BUSHWICK FOR OVER 20YRS. CURRENTLY WE ARE STRUGGLING (IN ALL WAYS) TO FIND HOUSING, INCLUDING GRAPPLING WITH THE FACT WE MAY HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WE’VE ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY. WE’RE NAVIGATING FINDING SUSTAINABLE HOUSING, BUT ARE WHOLLY UNDERPREPARED TO ACTUALLY MOVE. WE WANT TO MOVE BEFORE GETTING SENT TO HOUSING COURT FR, SO RELYING ON BACKED UP GOV’T AGENCIES HAS BEEN…DIFFICULT. OVERALL WE’RE SEEKING:
• FUNDS (FOR ACTUALLY MOVING, BROKERS FEES, APPLICATION FEES, POTENTIALLY TOWARDS FIRST MONTHS RENT)
• KNOWLEDGE OF ANY VACANT APARTMENTS FOR LEASE OR SUBLET BETWEEN 1,200 – 2000K
