Here here here come thou all without appointments

The eviction moratorium will be extended to August 31 in NY from the current expiration of May 1. Tenants will be protected from eviction if they submit hardship documents under the state's rent relief programs which will open next month. Landlords can file for foreclosures and tax lien sales but still have to pay the mortgage and utility bills. It's only $2.4 billion dollars from the taxpayers fund and will cover up to 15 months of rent. So far, 35,000 tenants have filed for hardship awaiting for results. If a tenant is not qualified, then eviction is set forth and will have to work out a payment arrangement with the landlord in court. Here is the link to apply, https://www.nycourts.gov/eefpa/ As for businesses, eligible ones include caterers, bars, saloons, taverns and restaurants can apply for grants. This is under the US Small Business Administration's Restaurant Revitalization Fund which is set aside at $29 billion. Restaurants can apply up to 10 million per application per grant.

At the same time, local politicians have been distributing food for all and encouraged them to apply for food program benefits. The state has set aside $10 billion and NYC added $150 million. Simply visit a local politician's office for details. According to the NYC Comptroller's Office, a major milestone was achieved. In NYC alone, 4.7 million are receiving public benefits and the goal is 5 million in time for election in June. Again, applying for public benefits are open to the public primarily the low income sectors which are the largest voter base in NYC. The paper work is less compared to before.
