There are more than 30 programs in New York City that help people with different needs, like getting food, rides, loans, and even housing advice.
The city has put all of these programs on one website, Access NYC. There, people can look over the standards and find out how to apply for these benefits.
These are a few of the most important apps out there:
Discounted Public Transportation in New York City
The city has a program called Fair Fares NYC for people with low incomes. People who qualify in New York can get a 50% discount on subway, bus, and Access-A-Ride prices through this program.
You can get the help you need by following the steps on the Access NYC website if you haven’t already signed up for programs like Cash Assistance, SNAP, or Medicaid.
Are you in New York City and want to get free food? Access NYC can help you find free meals all over the city by giving you a list of all the groups that offer them.
Help to Prevent Eviction
It can be scary to think about being kicked out of your home, but the Homebase program is here to help. This program helps people who are about to be kicked out of their homes so they don’t end up homeless.
It’s best to get in touch with the city’s legal help and tools before you get an eviction notice so they can help you stay in your home.
Loans to Pay Your Bills
There is a loan program in New York City called Emergency Assistance or the “One Shot Deal” that helps people who need money quickly. Access NYC runs this program that helps people in New York get a one-time loan to pay off bills that are getting in the way of their quality of life.
Eligibility for Help
You may be eligible for assistance if you meet any of the following conditions:
- Facing a sudden financial crisis
- At risk of eviction
- Struggling to pay essential bills
These programs and resources are designed to provide critical support to New Yorkers in need, helping them maintain stability and improve their quality of life.
