Jiggetts For Families

If you are on public assistance, you may be eligible to receive a monthly rental supplement (in addition to your shelter allowance) and have some, or all, of your rental arrears paid through a relief system called Jiggetts. In order to be eligible for this supplement, you must:


be a recipient of family assistance; and
have a child under the age of 18 at home, OR under 19, in high school, and at home; and
be in court because you are being sued for back rent.

To learn more, contact one of the legal services or community-based organizations approved by the State of New York to handle Jiggetts applications.

For a list of these services or community-based organizations, please visit LawHelp.org

For more information on Jiggetts, you can also visit LawHelp.org and look under the "Know Your Rights" heading.

Rental Arrears Grants For Single Adults And Families

The NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA) can assist tenants who have legal possession of an apartment, or applicants who have been evicted but whose landlords are willing to re-let the apartment, by paying their arrears through a rental arrears grant. Grants are available for both public assistance recipients and for those ineligible for public assistance. Families and single adults are eligible.

Dial 311 to contact the HRA Job Center in your area and apply for a rental arrears grant.
