Home Rebuilding & Repairs
In response to the continuing need to repair homes damaged by Hurricane Sandy, the NYC Home Repair Consortium has been created to repair non-structurally damaged properties that still have unmet needs. It will be composed of nonprofit organizations that will be selected to scale repair work and serve at least 600 properties.
