NYC Comptroller Talks COVID-19 Relief Plan for Vulnerable Communities


PIX11 News: Scott Stringer speaks with PIX11's Dan Mannarino about his proposal to help communities of color hit hardest by the coronavirus crisis. The comptroller's multi-faceted strategic approach to protecting vulnerable New Yorkers includes using vacant hotels and dormitories to house homeless and alleviate overcrowding, providing PPE to all cleaning and maintenance workers and home health aides. Stringer is also calling for the creation of a victim's compensation fund for COVID-19 frontline families who have lost a loved one, similar to the 9/11 fund.
