Uncover your power
Unlock NYC helps you uncover your own power so you can flex your rights on your housing search. Whether you’re hearing “no vouchers” or getting ghosted over and over again, our team and our tools are here. We can connect you to resources, amplify your voice, and help you unlock housing.

Flex your rights
Keep a paper trail of your search. You’ll be more confident, organized, and prepared when you use our free Rights Recorder app to record phone calls, collect evidence, and report unfair treatment.

Unlock housing opportunities
Share your report with a lawyer, government official, or someone else who can help you resolve the issue you are facing. When you speak up about housing discrimination, you can unlock housing for yourself – and others.
