HELP FROM BROOKLYN HOUSING & FAMILY SERVICES

Albemarle Neighborhood Association Meeting
Thursday, March 24th, 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Representatives from Brooklyn Housing & Family Services will speak at the Albemarle Neighborhood Association (ANA) meeting on Thursday, March 24th. With a mission of "protecting families and preventing homelessness," Brooklyn Housing & Family Services has, for thirty-eight years, "focused its attention on housing change throughout Brooklyn — eliminating unfair, unsafe and inhuman housing – building by building." 

Three years ago, Brooklyn Housing & Family Services established its "predatory lending/foreclosure prevention program to help residents find ways to modify the terms of their mortgages and retain their homes." The program "also offers assistance to families unable to retain their homes; helping them to relocate to affordable housing in their neighborhood avoiding homelessness and total family upheaval."

At the meeting, ANA's Nominating Committee will present its slate of candidates. Nominations will also be taken from the floor.

Refreshments provided by Foodtown and ANA will be available.

Admission  to the meeting is free, and it is open to everyone, whether or not you are a member of ANA.

Meeting location:
327 E. 5th Street, at the corner of Church Avenue (Enter through the wheelchair-accessible entrance at street level.)
