More than commiserating over what is feared to be an impending wave of evictions, those in attendance, including representatives from Hudson Valley Legal Services and Hudson River Housing and Mayor Rob Rolison, discussed issues with the system as it stands and solutions.
Berkowitz put forth the possibility of a housing diversion program, in which if a landlord wants to enter an eviction case into court, they are required to seek mediation.
However, the biggest problem that most in that room could agree to, where there isn t a near-term solution, is the availability of affordable housing. People are looking to move and transition without becoming homeless, and there is nothing available, either because of the price, the condition of it just plain availability, said Justin Haines, an attorney for Legal Services of the Hudson Valley, which provides free services to people who can afford a lawyer.
