New York State Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar hosted a community meeting August 18, 2026, at her Tenants and Homeowners Assistance Day in Ozone Park-Cityline, where more than 40 residents turned out to access critical housing resources and support.
According to a press release from her office, it was a “strong” turnout which “highlighted the energy and engagement of the neighborhood and the Assemblywoman’s unwavering commitment to delivering meaningful services directly to Ozone Park and all of South Queens.”
The event brought tenants and homeowners face-to-face with expert guidance on foreclosure prevention, property tax exemptions, home repair grants, housing court cases, tenant advocacy, and more. Residents also received multilingual assistance to make sure each attendee was able to understand the proceedings as well as the rules and regulations.
“Our Tenants and Homeowners Assistance Day is about opening the door of opportunity for every family in Ozone Park,” Rajkumar is quoted saying. “When we bring government directly into the community, we empower people to protect their homes, build stability, and secure a brighter future,” she added pledging to stand by her constituents of South Queens.
