Bronx tenants and Community Action for Safe Apartments (CASA), New Settlement’s membership-driven tenant organizing project, are expected to launch a new campaign this week aimed to keep renters in their homes following the end of the statewide eviction moratorium, amNewYork Metro has learned.
The announcement is scheduled to be made during an 11 a.m. rally on Tuesday, Feb. 1, outside Bronx Housing Court that will protest the thousands of evictions now eligible to proceed. Although the rally will demand that tenants be spared from the streets during the continued pandemic and the year’s coldest months, the demonstration will also introduce a brand new community protection initiative.
