The New York Communities for Change (NYCC) website says “WE RESIST. We RESIST fascist and racist policies that affect our most vulnerable communities. NYCC leads know your rights trainings and a rapid response program to protect our communities against deportations, police brutality and evictions. We Fight. We Build Power.”
Evidence-based Influence Watch says that “New York Communities for Change (NYCC) is a New York City-based labor and community organizing group. NYCC is a key agitation force behind the Service Employees International Union’s (SEIU) “Fight for $15” union organizing efforts, and has received over $7 million from SEIU and its local unions alone since 2012. NYCC is one of several successor organizations to the defunct ACORN multi-issue organizing network. The group is a member of the left-wing Strong Economy for All coalition. The organization signed a petition supporting the Green New Deal.”
As MHProNews has previously reported, MHAction – which is funded through dark money channels by Warren Buffett and George Soros, among others – has their leader, Ken Borden ‘trained’ during his time with NYCC.
The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) – dominated by Berkshire Hathaway brands and their allies – has oddly pushed for policies to keep renters in their rentals instead of seeking to turn them into manufactured home owners. When affordable housing is in a growing crisis, an objective look at the MHI position is increasingly absurd. It isn’t until the funding for these nonprofits is examined does a picture emerge as to why some groups does what it does.
Tonight’s featured focus is from left-of-center CNBC which spotlighted a photo of NYCC protestors juxtaposed with the efforts by the Trump Administration to stave off potentially millions of evictions in the wake of the Wuhan Virus/COVID19 connected layoffs.
NYCC has touch points between George Soros and Warren Buffett donations and leftist or progressive organizations. CNBC’s take on the vexing issue of evictions will be our featured focus, which follows the left-right headlines, two of our three market graphic summaries at the close today and our quotable quotes for tonight. The third market summary graphic, which has the manufactured home connected stocks at the closing bell today, is found after the featured focus and related reports.

Featured Focus –
Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
“Demonstrators wearing protective masks hold signs during an eviction strike in the Brooklyn borough of New York, on Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2020. Organizers in at least 15 states are coordinating mass demonstrations targeting banks, corporate landlords, marshals, sheriffs and the courts to protest all who play a role in the eviction process.” So reads the caption in the featured photo from CNBC’s report earlier today.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration announced Tuesday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will invoke its authority to halt evictions through the end of the year. It is being argued as part of a plan to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
The move – a draft of which was posted to the Federal Register – is the most significant step taken so far by the White House to fend off what experts predict will be a flood of evictions across the country.
An inability to strike a deal with Democrats after enhanced federal unemployment aid and a federal eviction moratorium expired at the end of July has set the stage for the current scenario.
“President Trump is committed to helping hard-working Americans stay in their homes and combating the spread of the coronavirus,” said Brian Morgenstern, deputy White House press secretary, in a press call Tuesday evening.
“Today’s announcement from his [President Trump’s] administration means that people struggling to pay rent due to the coronavirus will not have to worry about being evicted and risk further spreading of or exposure to the disease due to economic hardship,” Morgenstern said.
Questions remain as to the feasibility of such a broad moratorium on evictions, said CNBC, “especially if there is no money behind the plan to compensate landlords for lost rent.”
The concern is that barring landlords from evicting non-paying tenants without compensating could have a destabilizing effect, felt first in the commercial housing market, which could then ripple into the credit markets if both large and small-scale landlords default on mortgages.
“He can extend the moratorium, and I hope that he does,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on CNBC on Aug. 6. “But you can’t just extend the moratorium, you’ve got to have money.”
“If they extend the moratorium, people won’t have to pay their rent just yet. It’ll get pushed further down the road, unless we get some money for them to compensate for what they have to get. And that’s not just for the renters, that’s for the landlords,” said Pelosi.
The video below is from a York, PA news outlet. While the number of protesters is modest, it reflects that even in a smaller city, this is an issue.
It is just one of a range of pandemic related political issues that will impact voters in the 2020 general election, which is just 9 weeks out.
