ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) New York extended a state law that protects tenants and homeowners from eviction if they they’ve faced economic hardship because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The moratorium on evictions and foreclosures will run through August under a law the state’s governor signed Tuesday.
A federal eviction moratorium is also in place through June but those protections are much narrower than New York’s.
New York lawmakers voted last month to create a $2.4 billion housing relief fund, but officials are still working on setting up an application process.
Attorneys, advocates demand New York prioritize vaccines in prisons, jails
