BRONX BOROUGH PRESIDENT DIAZ TO MAYOR: ‘RIGHT TO COUNSEL’ MUST COME FASTER
UsaNewsOnline.Com Desk, New York : Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. has written a letter to Mayor Bill de Blasio urging the administration to speed up the full implementation of Intro 214-B, a.k.a. “Right to Counsel,” which secured legal representation for low-income tenants in New York City’s housing courts among other benefits.
In particular, Borough President Diaz is urging the de Blasio administration to hasten the rollout by a full two years ahead of the current July 2022 deadline imposed by the legislation, given the ongoing eviction crisis facing low-income tenants in the five boroughs.
“Our City’s tenants simply cannot wait. We must work harder to keep them in their homes and neighborhoods, rather than deal with a crisis when they are evicted and forced into the shelter system,” said Borough President Diaz in the letter. Press Release.
