Chhaya CDC is a member of the United for Small Business NYC (USBNYC) Coalition. Since “Pause” has been put into effect state-wide, small businesses have borne a huge burden. Unable to open their doors or losing significant revenue as New Yorkers follow orders to stay home, businesses are still responsible for rents that have risen drastically every year. It is unjust for the government to force businesses to shut down and still require them to pay exorbitant rents. At Chhaya, we aim to protect the immigrant-owned small businesses that make Jackson Heights such a richly diverse neighborhood. Without canceling rents, we fear that these businesses will have to close, changing the neighborhood forever.
