South Bronx Action Group, Inc
(Separate Website)
As it has for more than three decades, South Bronx Action Group, Inc., (SBAG) provides a wide variety of services to persons concerned with the communities of Mott Haven, Melrose and Port Morris - commonly known as "the South Bronx". SBAG's mission is focused on tenant related matters such as housing, social services, and citizenship issues. While the focus still remains on tenants, SBAG serves an increasing number of owner-occupied, recently-renovated structures. In such instances, the organization has served as facilitator in Section 8 matters, by assisting owners and tenants in meeting qualification standards; and as mediator in disputes between owner and tenants - both in housing courts and in the community. We make extensive use of community based organizations such as the Citizens Advice Bureau and Bronx Legal Services. We have noted an increase in referrals to us from entities such as the Bronx District Attorney's office, the Victims Services Agency, and elected officials. In many instances, these referrals are of families facing imminent eviction or attempting to escape from domestic violence.
