New York State’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program opened Tuesday, June 2, and with Astoria Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s advocacy, Arabic-speaking people can now easily access applications. 

At the time this program was initially proposed, Arabic was not one of the listed languages for translated applications.
