| Rochester, N.Y. — It’s safe to say that Shayla Black’s life is not what she imagined when she left her job in the magazine industry in January, feeling like she needed a change.
Before long, her quest for new opportunities was upended by massive job losses driven by the COVID-19 crisis. As Black’s finances started to dwindle and the rent continued to accrue at her second-story Harlem apartment, the 28-year-old found herself having to make some difficult choices.
“You’re just told in a society, like, you pay your rent by any means necessary,” Black said. “I was ready to pay my very last to pay my rent. But how would I pay my electric? How would I get food?”
This fall, her landlord slipped a notice under her door: Either pay thousands in back rent or risk eviction, it said – despite a national moratorium prohibiting evictions for non-payment of rent.
“No one should ever have to experience the threat of being pushed out of their home,” Black said. “Especially in the middle of a pandemic.”
