About Met Council on Housing:
Met Council is dedicated to the belief that everyone deserves a decent, safe, and affordable home, and organizes tenants to be the force behind achieving this reality. We have been at the forefront of the housing movement for the past half century. We work to combat displacement at the individual level through our tenant help hotline and clinic while bringing tenants together in citywide campaigns to fight for structural changes to solve the affordable housing crisis for current and future generations.
About the position:
Through our Tenant Rights website, you will help thousands of tenants across New York City. Our website is the first place many tenants turn to for help. Not only do tenants use it for help but many housing professionals use it to help their clients. We need volunteers to help us translate key peices of the help and answer section so that we can reach some of the most vunrable tenants in NYC.
Languages Needed: Spanish, Traditional Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Arabic, and others

Description
Who are we?
Met Council is dedicated to the belief that everyone deserves a decent, safe, and affordable home, and organizes tenants to be the force behind achieving this reality. We have been at the forefront of the housing movement for the past half century. We work to combat displacement at the individual level through our tenant help hotline and clinic while bringing tenants together in citywide campaigns to fight for structural changes to solve the affordable housing crisis for current and future generations.
Who are our members?
We are run by, led by, and funded by our members, with nearly 900 dues paying members in every borough. We believe that tenants - those most affected by the housing policies of our state and city - must be the driving force behind changing those policies. Our members staff our clinic, hotline, radio show, and newspaper. They also attend lobby visits, join us for rallies, and meetings.
