Raising the Bar for Housing Justice

Join JustFix for an evening in conversation with our supporters on July 19th! We look forward to sharing our work with you, getting to know you, and together, envisioning the future of JustFix.

Housing is a human right. However, the housing crisis in NYC is reaching its boiling point. Tenants are facing displacement, eviction, and substandard, unhealthy, and illegal housing conditions. 

JustFix builds tech tools that empower tenants, organizers, and advocates as they fight for their human right to safe, accessible, and affordable housing.   

Support our mission to help tenants achieve safe and livable homes! All tickets and donations are 100% tax deductible.

Can't make it? You can donate to JustFix and join our mailing list.
