NYC Mayor Adams Community Op Ed: Deed Protection And Squatters
Your City Wants to Help Put Money Information Webinar

in Your Pocket
New York is a city that works for our people, with resources

available to help hard-working residents afford the cost of
housing, child care, health care, transit, and more. But all too

often, the New Yorkers most in need of these programs are
not aware that they qualify for them and don’t take advantage
of the benefits they are entitled to.
That is why our city is taking important steps to make
sure New Yorkers know how to get the support they need
and deserve with our new “Money in Your Pocket” initiative.
This new outreach program will help residents across the five
boroughs screen for or learn about more than 70 city, state, and
federal programs that can make life in New York City more
affordable, equitable, and livable.
Led by the Mayor’s Public Engagement Unit, city workers and
trained students will visit underserved neighborhoods across
the city to help thousands of New Yorkers find out which
benefits they may be eligible to receive.
Some of these benefits include:
• The Earned Income Tax Credit, which puts money back
into the pockets of working people to help with rent, bills,
and groceries.
