Learn about the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption   Dear Neighbor, Tomorrow, Thursday, at 7pm, I will be hosting a Virtual Town Hall on the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) program, which helps low and middle-income older adults be able to afford to stay in their homes. Next Tuesday, September 26th, I will be hosting Part III of a three-part series of Virtual Town Halls with experts from the nonprofit Financial Planning Association of Metro New York who will provide guidance on managing personal finances and practical steps you can take to improve your financial life. If you missed Parts I and II, they will be posted on my website in the next few days, krueger.nysenate.gov. I hope you will join me for one or all of these events. Below you will find more information and registration details. Best, Liz Krueger State Senator Senator Liz Krueger's Virtual Town Hall Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption Program Thursday, September 21, 7 pm – 8:30 pm 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 Senior Citizens Rent Increase Exemption (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.
