The application process is explained in simple steps that help applicants avoid common mistakes. Information regarding assessing your income, eligibility criteria, and documentation is discussed to address the specific needs of the performing arts and entertainment community. In addition to general  information about affordable housing, information is also provided about The Actors Fund housing for performing arts professionals.

All new affordable housing opportunities are available on a new version of NYC Housing Connect. If you had an account on the original NYC Housing Connect, your applicant profile will not be carried over to the new website. Users will need to create a brand new profile to apply. This new webinar will help applicants navigate the new system, understand changes to the process and show you how to set up a new profile. If you haven't already, we recommend that you participate in our Applying for Affordable Housing webinar as a prerequisite. We hope to make the transition from the original to the new NYC Housing Connect as easy as possible.

Orientation is the first step to enrolling in the services of The Career Center. 

The Career Center addresses a central challenge for performing arts and entertainment professionals: navigating the episodic nature of work in the industry. For many, survival work—initiated to make ends meet—ends up draining the creative professional and becoming more of a problem than a solution. This orientation will help you begin to take the necessary steps to identify meaningful work that complements your life in the entertainment business.
