Renters & Homeowners Assistance Centers
| Posted on: www.cb14brooklyn.com |
Between July 17 – August 11, the Department of Finance will be providing one-on-one assistance for Senior Citizen Homeowner Exemption (SCHE), Disabled Homeowner Exemption (DHE), Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE), and Disability Rent Increase Exemption (DRIE) at walk-in centers in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx. Residents can sit down with DOF staff to get the help they need. For more information, click here to see Brooklyn Walk-In Center flyer, call 212-291-HOME (4663) or continue reading this post.
Common SCHE/DHE questions and issues that include:
- How do I renew my application?
- What is the status of my application?
- Which exemptions do I currently receive, and are there others I might be eligible for?
- What options are available if my application was declined or I lost my exemption due to an increase in my income?
Constituents interested in the rent freeze programs can visit assistance centers to find out:
- Whether they are eligible for either exemption.
- How to complete an initial or renewal application.
- The status of existing applications.
- What to do if their SCRIE or DRIE exemptions were revoked.
Residents are encouraged to make an appointment by calling 212-291-HOME (4663). Appointments are recommended, but not required. For more information, please visit http://www1.nyc.gov/site/finance/about/contact-us-assistance-centers.page.
