C Squat is a squat located at 155 Avenue C in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, in an area called Loisaida. In 2002, the government of New York City granted ownership of 11 squats on the Lower East Side to the Urban Homesteading Assistance board, including C-Squat; UHAB is in the process of securing loans to help repair the buildings, after which ownership will be turned over to the occupants. Accordingly, C-Squat is no longer technically a "squat", but rather a legally occupied building, bought by the squatters in a deal brokered with the city council by the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board in 2002 for one dollar. It is a punk house.
