Hochul Lays Out Affordable Housing Plan, Makes No Mention Of Eviction Moratorium

New York Governor Kathy Hochul outlined a $25 billion affordable housing plan that aims to create and preserve 100,000 units of affordable housing and 10,000 supportive housing apartments, as part of her State of the State address Wednesday.

But tenant advocates said they were alarmed by Hochul’s failure to mention one of the most immediate issues facing low-income tenants — the state’s eviction moratorium, set to expire on Jan. 15. Without an extension or more relief, hundreds of thousands of financially strapped renters are in danger of losing their homes.
