This program is Cuomo’s answer to the call to “Cancel Rent”.  It was announced 2 weeks ago, and that means the application window is already closing.

This is not a first come first serve financial aid. Everyone who gets their application and supporting documents in by Thursday night will potentially get a check sent to their landlords for a portion of rent due. This will help a lot of New Yorkers stay in their homes.

The federal CARES Act that was passed in March temporarily banned evictions and late fees until July 25. Obviously that date has passed and now landlords can now ask you to leave for non-payment of rent.

But the soonest they can legally file an eviction to force you to leave is Aug. 24.
