State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli - Problems Plague State's Rent Relief Program

 

Problems Plague State’s Rent Relief Program

“There are billions in federal aid to help renters who fell behind on payments in the pandemic, but this money isn’t getting to them,” New York State Comptroller DiNapoli said. “The State can and must do a better job getting this aid into the hands of New Yorkers that could face evictions. New York’s Congressional delegation has pushed for more efficient distribution of funds, while lawmakers have rightly proposed extending the State’s eviction moratorium. We must make sure that we don’t lose these critical funds, and that the renters most in need of help don’t get left behind.”
