Here is an ongoing list of GoFundMe campaigns for families displaced by fires in the Ridgewood/Bushwick area. Please spread the word and donate what you can to these families as they navigate these unexpected challenges:
If you have been impacted by a fire in the area and need relocation assistance through HPD, reach out to the Ridgewood Tenants Union for information on the process--we can help you advocate for the services you are entitled to due to a building vacate. The city often makes qualifying for emergency relocation a challenge. You can reach the Ridgewood Tenants Union at (732) 835-2344.
Councilmember Jennifer Gutiérrez has a Fire Response Guide that every tenant should review if they have experienced a fire: https://council.nyc.gov/jennifer-gutierrez/fire-emergency-response/
