EARLY-OCTOBER, 2021 – “NEWS & UPDATE”|

We normally hold our Annual Meeting on the first Tuesday of October. However, due to various scheduling difficulties, we’ve had to reschedule it for the following Tuesday, October 12, 2021 at 7:00pm. We’ve attached a notice for the Annual Meeting on the reverse side of this. Please come to the Annual Meeting and support MVUT. We’re involved in so many pro-tenant campaigns, we need everyone’s help – active and financial. Call with any questions (914) 699-1114.

At our Annual Meeting, we will be electing three (3) members to our Board of Directors. MVUT has a nine (9) meinber Board and three (3) seats come up for election every year. Members serve a three (3) year term. All paid members of MVUT are eligible to vote.

Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP)

In our last two (2) mailings we’ve described how MVUT is one of eleven (11) agencies within Westchester County processing ERAP applications. ERAP funds are federal dollars that are being administered by the New York state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (NYS- OTDA). While tenants can call the MVUT office AT (914) 699-111 4 X304 for an appointment to do applications, they can also do their own application by going to the ERAP website nysrenthelp.otda.ny.gov, or by calling (1-) 844-691-7368. They can also call 211 for assistance.

Emergency Rental Assistance Program

MVUT continues to assist tenants who have rent arrears due to Covid – loss of income and/or increased expenses. As of this mailing date we’ve submitted 30 applications, helped 16 tenants upload documents for their applications and referred over 70 families/individuals to the ERAP website —nysrenthelp.otda.ny.gov – and/or to the toll-free phone number I-844-691-7368.
