Rental assistance in Nassau County.

A number of rent assistance, security deposit and housing programs provide help to Nassau County New York families or individuals. The programs are focused on the low income, seniors, disabled, and others who are faced with a hardship. If you need affordable housing, or have received an eviction notice, the charities, churches, or government agencies below may be able to help with back rent, a deposit, or free legal aid.

Some of the organizations provide financial assistance to pay rent. Others may offer referrals or can help people find affordable housing, including section 8 housing choice vouchers (HCV) in Nassau County.
