Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the launch of the New York Forward Small Business Lease Assistance Partnership. Recognizing the economic impact of COVID-19, this program will provide small businesses and their landlords with informational resources and pro bono assistance to help both parties reach mutually-beneficial lease workout agreements. This service is available to all New York State small businesses and landlords, and participation is voluntary. Over the next year, the partnership has the capacity to serve thousands of small businesses statewide.

"Small business are the backbone of any strong economy and it is critical that we work to find ways to support them during these difficult times," Governor Cuomo said. "The COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the economy has been nothing short of devastating, and through partnerships such as this, we can help to alleviate the burdens many business owners are facing. While a moratorium on commercial evictions is currently in place, this new public-private partnership will help provide an additional level of stability for small businesses and ensure they are able to play a role in helping build New York's economy back better than before."

By now you may have heard that thousands of individuals and hundreds of local organizations have joined together to take a community-wide 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge. The Challenge is a powerful opportunity to collectively develop a deeper understanding of how inequity and racism affect our lives and community. The Brighton Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to learning and taking action to create an equitable community for all, and has chosen to participate in the 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

We encourage you to visit www.ROCequitychallenge.org to sign up for the Challenge. After you sign up, each weekday from October 23 – November 20, you will receive an email from info@ROCequitychallenge.org with articles, podcasts and videos that will provide opportunities to develop a deeper understanding of how racism and inequity affect our lives and community, offer suggestions for reflection and options to continue your learning or take action. The Brighton Chamber of Commerce will also continue reviewing our organization’s policies and practices to examine how we can ensure equity remains a focus.

Thank you for standing with the Brighton Chamber of Commerce to confront racism, bias and other social injustices to create a just and equitable community for all.

Nelson Lopatin, President
