Important Housing Rights 2001
.....
Stella Bugbee and Rosten Woo from CUP worked with Dave Powell from the Metropolitan Council on Housing to produce this door-sized poster that outlines basic tenant rights in New York City, including information about the regulation of heat, subletting, eviction, and rent.
.....
Printing was partially financed through poster sales at Storefront for Art and Architecture and the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. Posters were distributed free of charge through Met Council on Housing, Indymedia, and Nontraditional Employment for Women.
.....
If you are interested in working on or financing an updated bilingual English/Spanish version of the poster, please get in touch at info [at] anothercupdevelopment [dot] org!
