Gov. Kathy Hochul said that she’s requesting more federal aid from the Biden administration for New York’s since dried-up rental relief program, ahead of the likely expiration of the state’s eviction moratorium this coming weekend.
The eviction ban – in place since March 2020 – is expected to lapse on Saturday, Jan. 15.
“What we want to do is let people know that that is concluding very shortly. I’m having conversations with the legislature on what to do on this issue,” Hochul said during a press conference in Manhattan.
The moratorium was first signed as an executive order by ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to help struggling tenants and landlords with COVID-related financial hardship.
It’s been extended multiple times, most recently by Hochul in September after a separate but similar federal moratorium expired in July.
Hochul said she’ll send a letter along with other governors, including California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, requesting additional aid to help clear a roughly $1 billion backlog sought by New York tenants and landlords.
