Homelessness prevention services

Emergency guidance, referrals, and support that help neighbors stay safely and stably in their homes.

Community Stories

Neighbors who received help from MVUTS.

MVUT helped me get heat back in my apartment in the middle of winter. They explained every step and stayed with me until it was fixed.

Tenant, South Side Mount Vernon

I received an eviction notice and did not know what to do. MVUT explained my rights and connected me with legal help the same week.

Senior tenant, Mount Vernon

Our building organized with MVUT and finally got repairs made. Neighbors who never spoke now look out for each other.
