Morning Headlines: City Braces for End of Emergency Rent Vouchers, Con Ed Settles Discrimination Case, and Crackdown on Sidewalk Sheds Moves Forward

From NYC NOW WNYC
New York City officials say they’re preparing for the end of a federal rent voucher program that currently helps more than 7,600 low-income households. The Trump administration says the program will run out of money next year. Meanwhile, Con Edison has agreed to pay $750,000 to settle a workplace discrimination case involving 17 women and people of color. Plus, the City Council is voting on bills to crack down on sidewalk sheds that linger for years, with the goal of improving public space and holding property owners accountable
