WE DEMAND A RENT FREEZE for the 2.5 million rent stabilized tenants in this city.  For the first time in the history of NYC, we won a RENT FREEZE in 2015 and for a second time in 2016!  Now is the time to keep the pressure up and fight for a rollback! Check the Calendar for details about the next Campaign Committee Meeting.

WE DEMAND AN END TO EVICTIONS! More evictions are filed in Bronx Housing Court than any other county in New York State! For over a decade, CASA has fought for Housing Court to be a place for justice for tenants! We wrote a report called Tipping the Scales, we have met with the Office of Court Administration to change policies and procedures so that unrepresented tenants can better navigate the confusing and intimidating housing court process. And in 2017, we got NYC Right to Counsel passed, making NYC the first city in the country to mandate representation in housing court!  Now, we are fighting for Right to Counsel in the whole state! We also do outreach in Housing Court most Mondays, hold legal clinics for tenants to best navigate Housing Court, hold press conferences and actions at Bronx Housing Court, and lobby for legislation in Albany! Check the Calendar for details about the next Campaign Committee Meeting.
