Housing advocates and Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Queens) are calling for $2.2 billion to help struggling tenants and small landlords. Gianaris recently sent a letter calling on Gov. Cuomo to establish a Housing Stability Relief fund to pay owners for rent arrears and clear the debt of approximately 1.3 million households unable to make rent payments in the pandemic. Gianaris is the No. 2-ranked Democrat in the state Senate.
