Healing with Housing: Decriminalizing the Unhoused & Mentally Ill,” presented by BRIC TV in partnership with The City, will bring together experts and leaders to discuss the housing crisis facing communities throughout Brooklyn and the impact of different strategies to mitigate harm and create pathways towards economic justice.

A recent policy targeting unhoused New Yorkers sent waves across the city. This policy states that unhoused individuals who appear mentally ill can be forcibly hospitalized, raising serious questions about our treatment of those battling mental illness.

Many of society’s most vulnerable groups live at the intersection of mental health issues and housing displacement, as seen across populations such as those struggling with substance abuse, the formerly incarcerated, youth aging out of the foster care system, LGBTQ youth, and seniors. Many of these groups are also more likely to experience increased involvement with the criminal justice system and over-policing.

As we bring together a panel of experts, this town hall asks: is there a more proactive and sustainable approach to engaging with those living at the intersection of mental health issues and housing insecurity? How can we create a meaningful system of care while not compromising basic human and civil rights?

I am reposting this list again, make sure to do your research.

If you have a case manager reach out to them and ask for a list of brokers, they have a list in their system.

Color code your list from not available, waiting list, not accepting

Also use housing connect.

Beware of anyone who asks you for your paperwork without seeing the apt,
That’s a red flag. Do not give send them paperwork until you look for an apt and they have some papers to give you again advocate for ya self and do the research.

If you are in supported housing understand that the city is cutting back the budget on some of the programs, so they may not be able to have housing that doesn’t mean that you give up, continue to advocate for you and your loved ones.
It took me 8 months till I found a place. Stay positive and know you will find a place to call home.

Wishing y’all the best of luck
