                         NEED FOR RENTAL RELIEF

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on 
behalf of New York's renters and the far-too-many families who are 
struggling as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
  Hardworking New Yorkers who have lost their jobs and closed their 
businesses, through no fault of their own, now are struggling, too, to 
pay their rent.
  The American Rescue Plan would provide more than $20 billion in total 
for emergency rental and utility assistance. This is in addition to the 
$25 billion provided in the December package.
  The House took bold action last week by passing the American Rescue 
Plan, and I call on the Senate to pass it immediately and get it to the 
President's desk.
  This is the lifeline our families and businesses so desperately need. 
Hope and health are on the way.
