Project Resilience is built around community education, engagement, and awareness. The work focuses on flood risks, mitigation, and preparedness, with a goal of making this knowledge accessible to the New Yorkers who need it most.

Through workshops and one-on-one counseling, NHSNYC supports homeowners and renters who are navigating flood insurance challenges, flood zone questions, and the real costs of being unprepared. The focus is on under-insured and non-insured residents, low and moderate income households, and older adults on fixed incomes.

The project gives people the knowledge and skills to manage their property, understand their insurance coverage, and respond effectively during emergencies. That builds a culture of readiness in the neighborhoods that need it most.

The through-line is community and connectedness. Resilience here is not a personal task. It is a shared one.
