‘No more delay’: Schumer presses state to speed up rent relief for suffering New York tenants, landlords

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer fumed Sunday over New York state’s slow release of a “trickle” of COVID-19 relief funds helping tenants and small landlords get back on their feet.

At a Manhattan rally on July 25, he called upon the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, Schumer demanded that federal money be released to cash-strapped lease holders immediately.
