Description
In the last part of this series, Marisol and Host K-DiD talk about the power of using your voice and the power of community in addressing and shaping the narrative in homelessness, including the misperception that people are experiencing homelessness due to mental health concerns. The Housing Narrative Lab leads with equity and focuses on telling the story of who becomes homeless and why, and how safe and affordable housing is their first step toward stability and opportunity.  ⁠https://housingnarrativelab.org/ RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NYC311⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://portal.311.nyc.gov/  ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DHS' Prevention Assistance and Temporary Housing (PATH) intake center ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- apply for shelter   ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/site/dhs/shelter/families/families-with-children-applying.page ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brochure⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dhs/downloads/pdf/path-brochure.pdf ⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HRA Guide for Housing Instability⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/assets/hra/downloads/pdf/BK-9-SOI-NewGuideForRenters.pdf⁠⁠⁠      ⁠⁠⁠About Source of Income Discrimination⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FAQ for Source of Income Discrimination⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/assets/cchr/downloads/pdf/materials/FairHouse_FAQs-Tenant-English.pdf  ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FAQ for Source of Income Discrimination⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/assets/cchr/downloads/pdf/materials/SourceOfIncomeFactSheet_SP.pdf⁠⁠⁠ If you experience source of income discrimination, you can report it to the NYC Commission on Human Rights by dialing 311 and asking for "Human Rights," call 212-416-0197, or use the ⁠⁠⁠Report Discrimination form⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/site/cchr/about/report-discrimination.page⁠⁠⁠ Education ⁠⁠⁠⁠Advocates for Children⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.advocatesforchildren.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠   Contact info shelter-based STH Family Assistants and school-based STH Community Coordinators:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/STHStaff⁠⁠⁠⁠   Help requesting a shelter transfer to be closer to your child’s school: email Jennifer Pringle at [email protected] Education specialist helpline, Monday - Thursday 10am-4pm 866-427-6033 or send a message: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.advocatesforchildren.org/get_help/helpline/send_us_a_message⁠⁠⁠⁠   Housing Vouchers ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Section 8⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/site/nycha/section-8/about-section-8.page⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CityFHEPS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/site/hra/help/cityfheps.page⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FHEPS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/site/hra/help/fheps.page⁠⁠⁠    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Special One-Time Assistance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (SOTA) ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nyc.gov/site/hra/help/sota.page⁠⁠⁠   Access HRA Apply or Login - a069-access.nyc.gov/accesshra/login Check out other resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/40pB4p8
