Evictions During the COVID-19 Pandemic<\/h2>\n
\n
\n Thousands of renters in New York City currently are protected by the State moratorium or CDC guidance to halt evictions are facing the impending end of the moratorium on May 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

The National Low Income Housing Coalition estimates that over 30 million Americans may be at risk of losing their homes in the new year if no new action is taken.<\/p>\n

In New York City, many renters were already in a precarious position prior to the pandemic, with many low-income households putting a significant portion of their income towards their rent and lack sufficient savings or emergency funds to carry them through missed work or lost wages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n There are currently 14,000 active eviction warrants posed to move forward following the lifting of the moratorium. Thousands of New Yorkers may be in need of assistance who are facing eviction, losing their housing and entering the shelter system.<\/p>\n

The Committee seeks a plan from the Department of Social Services for the upcoming lifting of the moratorium and potentially significant influx of clients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
