Housing Insecurity Prevention Assistance Programs Open

Town of Babylon’s Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program opened on
December 18th, 2023. This program is for extremely low-income households
who are in rental arrears to help residents regain housing stability and
prevent homelessness. For more information and to apply, please visit Long Island Housing Partnership’s website.

Town of Babylon’s Mortgage Arrears Program opened on February 27th, 2024. The Town of
Brookhaven (Town) is making CDBG-CV funds available for low to moderate-income Town of
Babylon residents with mortgage arrears incurred due to a COVID-19-related loss of income.
Funds will cover a maximum of 6 consecutive months of arrears, subject to a cap of $50,000,
and are paid directly to the lender. For more information and to apply, please visit the Long Island Housing Partnership’s website

Tip: After a Warrant of Eviction is entered against a tenant, a sheriff will serve a 14-day
notice. If the tenant is unwilling to leave the premises, a sheriff will remove them from the
property. It is very important to pay the amount due any time before this to avoid physical
eviction.

residential tenants with housing-related legal problems (like eviction) and a household income of up to 80%
