New York Rent Crisis Topic of Live Panel Discussion with The City, Catholic Charities New York, and Other Experts

Open Newsroom on NYC's Rent Crisis

Thousands of New Yorkers, emerging from the Covid pandemic, are behind on their rent. The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), a state subsidy program for tenants and landlords, has helped but has been marked by slow responses and has expired. The City, an independent news organization, hosted a March 21 virtual panel on rental crisis issues facing New York tenants. Included were moderator Rachel Holliday Smith, The City journalist; Lakisha Morris, director of operations at Catholic Charities Community Services; Leah Goodridge, managing attorney for housing policy at Mobilization for Justice, and Nakeeb Siddique, director for housing at the Legal Aid Society’s Brooklyn office.
