Service Profile: North Yonkers Preservation & Development Corporation is a not for profit community based organization. The organization provides housing related assistance to residents of Northwest Yonkers. We preserve and maintain the community by assisting tenants in upgrading their buildings, thereby stabilizing the neighborhood. We inform residents in targeted areas through fliers, newspapers, church bulletins, and community events of their housing rights and guidelines. Assistance is given to those who need help with housing problems due to lack of services such as heat, hot water, water leaks, evictions, and tenant/landlord problems. An annual meeting is held with public officials so that area residents may come and voice their concerns about housing conditions, problems, and needs in the neighborhood. To help stabilize the neighborhood, fire prevention, housing safety, crime prevention, recycling, and family health care seminars are conducted with local firefighters, public law officials, and city code enforcers. The organization also provides legal council and representation in housing court. We provide individual counsel/referrals to tenants. A survey is now in progress to assess the needs of the community.
