Some new relief was extended to renters this week. The COVID Rental Assistance Program will provide direct aid to New York tenants who lost income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This program is funded through the federal CARES Act. You can apply at https://hcr.ny.gov/RRP. On Monday, New York City will enter Phase 4 of reopening - though indoor activity at malls, restaurants or cultural institutions will not be permitted.
