To Our Residents

Hope Community Staff continues to work on behalf of the community during this ongoing health crisis. As we continue to monitor the global and local outbreak of COVID-19, we remain thankful that there are no suspected or confirmed cases among our community.

With many indications that COVID-19 will remain a pressing health issue and financial source of concern for some time, we are taking the following steps to help you. As businesses and schools temporarily shut their doors and individuals are instructed to self-quarantine, there will be an impact on many families and individuals’ financial health and stability.

If you or any resident you know is elderly or needs linking to medical or social services in the neighborhood, please contact our office our review some helpful links below. Residents do not need to notify the City or others in a building if someone in the building is sick. With widespread community transmission, many people will get sick and recover at home. All New Yorkers should follow health guidance, take care of themselves and assist and support their neighbors to help limit the spread of the virus. If you become aware of an ill resident who needs emergency assistance, call 911. If you or someone else needs help finding a healthcare provider, call 311.

In order to safeguard your health, we strongly encourage you to use self-service tools and resources such as scheduling repairs through the 24/7 repair line 1-866-995-0462, in addition to paying/reviewing rent though ClickPay. We have Property Management staff standing by to take your questions and to help you plan during these uncertain times. Please call our office to speak with your property manager regarding change in income or employment. We have access to programs that may help. We are all in this together!

Special thanks to the office of New York State Senator Jose M. Serrano for providing our staff with PPE supplies.
