Got housing questions or concerns? This weekend, Brooklyn residents—whether you rent or own—can get practical help and connect with experts at the SD25 Renters & Homeowners Resource Fair. Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 4, and head over to Restoration Plaza, 1368 Fulton St. in Bed-Stuy, anytime from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Expect a welcoming atmosphere where community organizations and city agencies gather to offer advice and resources tailored to Brooklyn’s unique housing landscape. The event is designed to support people facing challenges like deed theft, changing NYCHA and PACT programs, and the ongoing complexities around renting and owning a home in the borough.
Assemblywoman Stefani Zinerman, who’s slated to attend, emphasized in an NYC Newswire announcement that she wants residents to take full advantage of this chance to get informed and express any concerns. She’ll be on hand to listen and to support the event’s mission.
As home prices rise and tenant protections become more vital than ever, neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy, Brownsville, and East New York are particularly affected. That’s why the fair pulls together groups like NYCHA, NHS Brooklyn, United for Brownsville, SAGE, and more—all in one accessible location.
Beyond informational booths, the fair features a day full of engaging panels and presentations: find out how to avoid deed theft, get the latest on NYCHA/PACT updates, learn about affordable homeownership, and boost your knowledge on renters’ rights. There’s something for everyone, from first-time buyers to longtime tenants.
And for a change of pace? Stick around for a community screening of Slumlord Millionaire—a hard-hitting look at New York’s housing struggles—plus a short film about Brooklyn’s historic Slave Theater.
No charge, no registration required; just show up. If you’re looking for real guidance or want to connect to resources that could make a difference in your housing journey, this event was made for you.
