The coronavirus has brought struggle to a lot of people who were already living check to check and Michael Che is making sure he helps them out, even though he believes the government isn’t.
The “Saturday Night Live” star announced that he will be covering the rent for all the residents who live in the NYC public housing project where his late grandmother lived.
Michael says he’s being been moved to cover the rent for all 160 units in honor of his late grandma, who recently passed away due to complications resulting from COVID-19.
The comedian has also been very vocal about his thought on residents of NYC public housing still being expected to pay rent, when many of them have lost their sources of income due to the pandemic.
He doesn’t want relief for the people of NYC to stop at his contribution, though. He says the least the city can do is develop a better plan for debt forgiveness for anyone living in public housing. Micheal also made sure to call out New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo, NYC’s Mayor Bill de Blasio and Diddy to help him tackle what he says is a major problem within the city.
