New York state must stop dragging its heels and release more than $2 billion in federal funding meant to help desperate renters pay their bills, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday.

Only a “pittance” of the cash available through the Emergency Rental Assistance Program established by Congress has been doled out, and the end of the state’s eviction moratorium looms at the end of August, the New York Democrat said.

“We want tenant relief now, and we cannot wait any longer. Tenants need help,” Schumer said at a news conference. “This is very, very serious.”

Under the program, Congress provided New York state with $2.3 billion for struggling New Yorkers to pay their rent.
