Brooklyn Heights Actors: Attend a Free Workshop on Affordable Housing

Actors don't get paid like they should. But now's your chance to pay what you should for housing.

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, BROOKLYN — If you're an actor looking for affordable housing (which, let's be serious, is 99.9 percent of all actors), Brooklyn's throwing a free workshop just for you next Tuesday.

The workshop, on Dec. 13 from 6-8 p.m. in Borough Hall, will give an overview of affordable housing opportunities in Downtown Brooklyn, as well as timelines, deadlines, and lessons about the application process.

"Applying for affordable housing in New York is a complex process to navigate, requiring longterm planning by individuals, especially those – like artists – who need to document episodic and fluctuating income. This seminar is uniquely designed to educate and prepare artists to navigate New York’s affordable housing application process," the event description says.
