1. How it Works
REES helps NYCHA residents improve their financial futures. It connects residents to programs that can help with education, job training, financial literacy, and starting a business.
- REES can help qualified residents access Earned Income Disallowance (EID), which can delay rent increases if your income goes up
- Program areas include Adult Education & Training, Financial Literacy and Asset Building, Employment & Advancement and Resident Business Development
- The Brooklyn office has information sessions every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30 a.m
