Saturday Night Live cast member Michael Che is the latest celebrity to give back during the coronavirus pandemic. The Weekend Update cohost said he will pay one month’s rent for all 160 apartments in the New York public housing complex where his grandmother lived before she died. Che’s grandmother died earlier this month from complications due to the coronavirus.

“[It’s] crazy to me that residents of public housing are still expected to pay their rent when so many new yorkers can’t even work,” Che wrote on Instagram before calling on New York politicians to act.

“I know that’s just a drop in the bucket,” Che wrote of his plans to pay for 160 renters. “I really hope the city has a better plan for debt forgiveness for all the people in public housing AT THE VERY LEAST.” He then added a postscript to the message, specifically asking for New York mayor Bill de Blasio, New York governor Andrew Cuomo, and rapper Diddy to help.

Thus far, New York has not pursued a rent moratorium on public housing, despite de Blasio’s support for the idea. “We have to figure out how to do some kind of moratorium for both residents and small business,” the embattled mayor said in a radio interview last month. “I’m going to find out if that’s anything within the power of the city or if that can only be done with state law or state action, but I think it’s the right thing to do.”

Last week, de Blasio said he was going to push for a rental freeze as well as the recommendation that renters would be able to pay a month’s rent with their security deposit if needed. “If you look at the facts, [New York] is facing the greatest economic crisis in generations and hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers with no livelihood overnight,” he said. “I think the facts are clear and we need that rent freeze and we need it now. We’ll do it quickly in the coming weeks.”

Previously, Cuomo suspended all evictions for 90 days, with the caveat that those who do miss their rent payments in this time frame would have to make financial amends to landlords thereafter. “We have said that no one can get evicted for nonpayment of rent and that to me is the fundamental answer,” Cuomo said last month when asked about canceling rent payments across the board. “That solves all of the above…. no evictions for nonpayment of rent and then we’ll see where we are.”
