Important information for small Landlords

"The New York Forward Loan Fund, a new economic recovery loan program aimed at supporting New York State small businesses, nonprofits and small landlords as they reopen after the COVID-19 outbreak and NYS on PAUSE.  

 
The NYFLF targets the state’s small businesses with 20 or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) employees (90% of all businesses), nonprofits and small landlords that have seen a loss of rental income. The NYFLF is specifically timed to support businesses and organizations as they proceed to reopen and have upfront expenses to comply with guidelines (e.g., inventory, marketing, refitting for new social distancing guidelines) under the New York Forward Plan.   
 
Pre-application for the New York Forward Loan Fund will be open on May 26, 2020 at Noon Eastern Daylight Time. Priority will be given to industries that have been reopened. This is not a first-come, first-served loan program. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as regions and industries reopen. Businesses who have already received SBA funding through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) or the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) are not eligible.

WHO ARE NYCSHA Members?

We are small landlords, mom and pop landlords, families who live in our own two- to five -family homes, or families that run part-time or full-time rental businesses without hired management.

We may hire carpenters, plumbers, and electricians, but we do all the rest ourselves, and we suffer when things go wrong.

It is the mission of the non-profit NYCSHA to provide owners of small rental properties in New York City with the tools and information necessary to conduct business successfully in this difficult climate. Through our educational programs, publications, and workshops we seek to help our members better understand their rights and obligations, how to work constructively with city and state officials, and how to deal effectively with their tenants. Through legal advocacy, we seek to protect the rights of small property owners against unfair and burdensome regulations!
