Watch here! SOCIAL SERVICES NY State has created the COVID Rent Relief Program for renters who lost income from April 1-July 31. The COVID Rent Relief Program will provide eligible households with a one-time rental subsidy that will be sent directly to the household’s landlord. Applications will be accepted through July 31, 2020. Check your eligibility and apply here. - Every year, the JCC serves over 6,000 people in crisis. This year, that number will grow as Staten Islanders experience hardships related to COVID-19. Without the help of the JCC, many people would not have food, legal services, health insurance, mental health services, and other critical services. We want to be able to continue to provide these services to anyone who needs them, but we need your help. Donate to our Families in Need campaign here.
