New York governor calling special legislative session to extend eviction moratorium

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is calling a special legislative session to extend the eviction moratorium in the state after the Supreme Court blocked the federal eviction freeze put in place by the Biden administration.

The special session is set to begin on Wednesday at noon. Hochul had for days been mulling calling legislators back to Albany to address the moratorium, but officially made the announcement on Tuesday.

Hochul said her goal is to extend the eviction moratorium until Jan. 15, 2022.

"It is my goal to extend the eviction moratorium to expand rental assistance programs from today to Jan. 15. We also know that landlords are struggling and we need to make sure that small businesses are protected as well, and that's why I will be starting today, and I'll be signing the proclamation momentarily," Hochul said.

1. This is how it should be done.

Legislation is needed if you want to extend the moratorium.

2. The Possibility Of Eviction, Especially If You Have KIds Is Terrifying

but the landlords also need to be paid, particularly the small ones. The money is there, why isn't it being released?
