Senator Krueger's Town Hall: Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption Program

September 27, 2023

Liz Krueger, Town Hall Event, SCRIE, DRIE

If you-

Live in a rent stabilized, rent controlled, or Mitchell-Lama apartment?
Are at least 62 years of age?
Have an annual household income of $50,000 or less?
Pay at least one third of your income on rent?
Want to avoid paying future rent increases?

If you answered yes to all these questions, you are likely eligible for the SCRIE program, which helps older adults remain in their homes by freezing their share of the rent. If you do not receive SCRIE, you should attend this virtual town hall to learn whether you are eligible, how you can benefit, the application process, and where you can get help applying.

If you already participate in SCRIE and have any questions or concerns, this is an opportunity to get answers from the experts.
