The second practice that Beam Living conducts at STPCV in order to promote equitable community development is Housing Support. See the following implemented strategies and resources related to this practice:

Residents are entitled to receive other protections, such as required services and having their leases renewed and not to be evicted except on grounds allowed by law. 
  •  
    • 1. STPCV supports the NYC Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) program. The program helps eligible senior citizens (62+) afford their rent-regulated apartments by freezing their rent at the current rate.
      2. STPCV supports the NYC Disability Rent Increase Exemption (DRIE) program. The program helps eligible residents with disabilities stay in affordable housing by freezing their rent.
      3. Beam Living teammates host SCRIE and DRIE Information Sessions regularly at the StuyTown Community Center and assist eligible residents in participating in the programs.
