This year’s city budget is adding roughly $20 million a year to a program that provides free legal representation to tens of thousands of renters in New York City.
In an emailed statement, Adams' spokesperson Jonah Allon said, “protecting New Yorkers from unlawful evictions and harassment is a top priority for this administration. We were proud to work with the Council as part of this budget agreement to baseline an increase funding for Right to Counsel.”
“It was a full court effort,” Abreu said. “If it weren't for this full court effort, I don't think that we would've gotten this far.” “Instead of coming up with a system to help struggling renters pay their rent, we're just helping lawyers,” said Rochel Leah Goldblatt, a spokesperson for the property owners group Community Housing Improvement Program.
