Hello,
I am writing you to provide some information and resources during this crisis. Our office is closed, but we are still working remotely and can be contacted at 718-651-3185 with any questions/concerns. If we do not answer, please leave a voice-mail, as we have a limited number of staff currently available. I promise you that if you leave a message somebody will call you back shortly thereafter.
I have attached a flyer that provides some important information. Furthermore, please find some helpful links below. Note that the links provided are administered by different governmental agencies/departments, and the information is changing by the minute. Because of how fast things are changing, you might want to consider signing up for email alerts (link below).
Stay safe!
Sincerely,
Brian Barnwell
