How you can help


Save Section 9 is a network of tenants and allies who work together to :

  1. Lobby Congressional Representatives nationwide to adopt our collective solutions

  2. Provide skills and education tools to tenants to support them in becoming leaders and organizers in their communities.

  3. Lead and support local campaigns to hold NYCHA accountable.
