If you live in Brooklyn and have questions about housing\u2014whether you rent or own\u2014there\u2019s an event you\u2019ll want to mark on your calendar. The SD25 Renters & Homeowners Resource Fair is coming up on Saturday, April 4<\/strong>, at Restoration Plaza (1368 Fulton St., Bedford-Stuyvesant). You can drop by anytime between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. <\/p>\n

This fair is all about helping Brooklynites navigate real housing concerns: think deed theft prevention, updates for NYCHA and PACT residents, tenant protections, and homeownership resources. It\u2019s not just about pamphlets or presentations, though\u2014there will be experts from community organizations and city agencies ready to connect one-on-one.<\/p>\n

Assemblywoman Stefani Zinerman, who\u2019ll be there in person, wants folks to take advantage of the chance to get answers and have their voices heard. She told NYC Newswire<\/a> that this is a huge opportunity for residents to speak directly about their needs and get trustworthy information.<\/p>\n

Housing issues aren\u2019t slowing down in Brooklyn\u2014communities from Bed-Stuy to East New York are feeling the effects of rising rents and shifting policies. That\u2019s why the event will have all sorts of resources, from deed theft advice to programs for first-time buyers earning under $80,000, as well as updates on NYCHA, PACT, and more. Groups like NHS Brooklyn, United for Brownsville, SAGE, The Black Lady, and others will be there to help.<\/p>\n

The day is packed with panels and presentations that dig into urgent topics: preventing deed theft, navigating rental crises, learning about homeownership for moderate-income families, and boosting tenant associations. The FDNY is also on the schedule to share safety tips and community resources.<\/p>\n

For something a little different, there\u2019ll even be a screening of Slumlord Millionaire<\/em>, a documentary about NYC\u2019s housing crisis, along with a short film on the history of the Slave Theater in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all free and open to the public. If you want real info, direct answers, and a chance to connect to the right people about your housing situation, this is the place to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
