The coronavirus pandemic has thrust millions of New Yorkers into economic precarity since the outbreak began.
Are you one of them? You may be eligible for the COVID Rent Relief Program, a statewide aid effort unveiled in mid-July that will give a one-time subsidy to applicants’ landlords for up to four months of rent. The subsidy can cover back rent, future rent, a security deposit, or some of each.
Here’s how to apply by the July 30 deadline.
