SENATOR RIVERA IN THE COMMUNITY
The first half of 2024 is past us, so Senator Rivera wanted to review some of the work he and his community affairs team have been doing for the community.
In February, Senator Rivera's office partnered with the NYC Department of Finance and Part of the Solution (POTS) to host a free housing assistance clinic for his constituents. Senator Rivera's team helped dozens of seniors in the Bronx apply to the City’s rent freeze program and to the SCHE program to provide property tax relief for homeowners during and following the event.
In March, Senator Rivera's team hosted an Immigrant Community Resource Fair at the Bronx Library Center to offer neighbors navigating the complicated immigration and asylum process connections to experts and resources including free legal assistance.
In May, Senator Rivera's team hosted the IDNYC Mobile Van in front of the Senator's district office. Over the course of three days, close to 200 constituents showed up to get their IDNYC card. Senator Rivera is grateful to the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs and Council Member Pierina Sanchez's office for their partnership to bring this valuable resource to the community.
In the last six months, our team assisted 667 constituents from all 11 zip codes who visited or contacted the Senator’s Office seeking assistance. The most common constituent issue within Senator Rivera’s district remains finding or staying in their housing. Senator Rivera’s office is proud to partner with organizations like Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation (NMIC), West Bronx Housing Resources Center (WBHRC), and many more that do incredible work for the people of the Bronx by providing free housing counseling and legal advice. If you live in the Northwest Bronx and need assistance or information from Senator Rivera’s team, call our District Office at 718-933-2034.
