About this program
This program can prevent certain rent increases. If you are a qualifying person with a disability and you live in a rent regulated apartment, your rent may be frozen. Your landlord will receive tax credits to make up for the difference between what you pay and the regular rent.
How do I apply?
To apply for this program, you can print and fill out the application form and mail it to your local office.
