Eviction Prevention in NYC

As new cases of COVID-19 cases continue to skyrocket across the countries, many cities and states are beginning to roll back re-opening plans and re-issue stay-at-home orders. As if that wasn’t enough of a calamity, tens of millions of Americans will soon be at risk of being evicted from their homes and not having anywhere to go in the middle of a deadly pandemic. Combined with a federal government unwilling to provide any further relief, we’re on the verge of a historic catastrophe.

To assist in eviction protection, The Coalition for the Homeless provides one-time $1000 cash grants to people who are behind on rent, facing eviction, but with some help, would be able to recover and pay rent in the future. The organization also assists those in need by helping them access funds from other non-profits and government programs.

This fundraiser is being organized by Progressives Everywhere, a newsletter focused on highlighting and raising money for progressive candidates and causes. Get in touch: Jordan at ProgressivesEverywhere.org.
