Hi Mark,
Thank you for this info. I will email you in private about this. Thanks – Wil
I was just told by someone at the BIB center on Hylan Blvd Staten Island that they are not helping renters?? So why did someone call me last month to ask my families year to date income??
Theresa, I am going to email you in private regarding this. I have to investigate if this is true that NYC Build It Back Program is no longer taking cases.
I have been waiting for some one to contact me also its been about 3 months now I believe and still no reply.
Blair are you waiting to hear back from PATH or us?
Hello,
Is the 10/31/2013 deadline a permanent deadline or will it re-open for more applications?
Dear Siobhan,
It does not look like it has been extended. If things change, we will let you know.
Will this program be reopened? I just heard about it. Why weren’t affected homeowners notified of this program? I was forced to take a SBA loan to do my repairs.
Dear Nancy, the registration expired on 10/31 of this year. Where is your home? I can see what other programs may be available. Information about this program has been made available by many groups since last year.
