NYC Told Supportive Housing Landlords to Stop Evictions. They’re Still Happening.
About this episode
The episode discusses NYC's new budget and ongoing eviction cases despite city directives.
New York City approves a $126 billion budget that scraps a planned NYPD expansion and broadens housing assistance through a new rental voucher program. Officials also prepare for a dangerous heat wave by opening cooling centers and extending pool hours. Plus, WNYC’s Karen Yi reports on why supportive housing providers are still filing eviction cases months after the city told them to use eviction only as a last resort. -Got any questions, comments or story ideas?
