The Census Bureau’s 2013-2017 American Communities Survey reported that there were 133,154 renter-occupied households in Westchester County including 3,201 in the Village of Mamaroneck. Conservatively applying the lower statewide New York percentage means that 31,557 renter households in Westchester and 758 in the Village of Mamaroneck believe that they are at imminent risk of eviction. RESOLUTION TENANT RIGHT TO COUNSEL DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WHEREAS: the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a bright light on housing, courts, and access to justice; and WHEREAS: the Town of Mamaroneck is committed to increasing access to legal counsel for self-represented litigants; and WHEREAS: the unprecedented health and economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are compounding and intensifying the legal needs of many Westchester individuals, including: 1) 23.7% of the total of 31,557 renter households in Westchester could be facing eviction in the next few months[1], stressing non-profits, municipal services, and creating a human and public health crisis; 2)758 renter households in Mamaroneck could be facing eviction in the next few months; 3)even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Westchester had some of the highest eviction rates in the state; and WHEREAS: pandemic-driven evictions are at Mamaroneck’s doorstep even with the COVID-19 Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2020; and WHEREAS: the plight of renters facing eviction is disruptive, destabilizing, and can have long term personal and financial negative consequences for the families and the community at large; and WHEREAS: an eviction, once entered, affects a tenant's credit and impacts the ability to obtain safe and healthy housing in the future without a process to seek or expunge the prior eviction; and WHEREAS: currently residents do not have a right to counsel in eviction proceedings; and WHEREAS: Mamaroneck’s families facing eviction are not very likely to have legal representation; and WHEREAS: 93% of landlords are represented in court in Westchester while only 7% of tenants are represented, and in New York City, tenants were found to win 80 percent of the time once represented; and Page 35 of 91 WHEREAS: there is an imbalance in legal knowledge and legal processes that places Mamaroneck families facing the loss of their home at a significant disadvantage; and WHEREAS: landlords are also harmed when tenants are evicted, given that they may face long or short term vacancies, re-letting costs, and potential loss of rental arrears when tenants are evicted; and WHEREAS: currently, state, county, municipal, and private funds are available to landlords on behalf of tenants to pay late rent and even future rent for persons impacted by COVID-19; and WHEREAS: there is precedent for providing legal services to tenants in New York State, as seen in New York City with Interro-214 and in Monroe County. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Nancy Seligson, Town Supervisor, and members of the Town Council of the Town of Mamaroneck encourage the Westchester County Board of Legislators and the County Executive to enact legislation guaranteeing Westchester tenants the Right to Counsel in eviction proceedings across Westchester County.
