Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed to speed up the state’s distribution of rent relief to tenants as the eviction moratorium ends next week, during her inaugural address as the Empire State’s chief executive Tuesday.
“I want the money out now, I want it out with no more excuses and delays,” said Hochul during the virtual speech on Aug. 24.
She announced the launch of a new campaign to reach more New Yorkers and make them aware of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, which has set aside some $2.7 billion of mostly federal funds to help residents pay their rent.
