NYC Mayor's Office of Housing Recovery

On the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, we remember all that was lost and salute the resilient communities that fight so hard to rebuild and recover. @NYCMayor @NYClimate

We’re hiring a developer to join the IT team at HRO! Help build tools that support disaster recovery and assist tenants getting back home after displacement. If you want your work to have real impact, we want to hear from you. cityjobs.nyc.gov/job/crm-develo…

This week, NYC made the Back Home Act real by officially launching the Back Home Unit, a fully staffed, dedicated office to help NYers displaced by fires find their way back home. Thanks to the administration for fast-tracking this. Learn more: backhome.nyc.gov

Recovering after a fire or other disaster is challenging even in the best of circumstances. Our new Back Home Unit is here to help, no matter what support you need. Proud to work with @CMJenGutierrez, @CMPiSanchez, & leaders across the city to streamline the city’s response.

Today we launched the Back Home Unit at HRO. When New Yorkers are displaced after a fire, flood, or other emergency, they shouldn’t have to navigate a fragmented system alone. The Back Home Unit centralizes support, provides clear guidance, and helps people get back home faster.

Nonprofit and private organizations providing emergency relief services may also continue critical operations.   Public schools will be closed Monday. Alternate Side Parking is suspended Monday to allow snow removal operations to continue.   City agencies are activating emergency operations across New York City to support residents, maintain essential services, and manage storm impacts.
