• Home repairs through Rapid Repairs NYC;
• Federal disaster assistance through FEMA;
• Applications for benefits such as Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) and more through the Human Resources Administration (HRA);
• Shelter and counseling information; and
• Supplies such as food, water and blankets.

The center is open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
