Summary
Providence is locked in a heated standoff over a new $3,000 rental aid program, with the mayor pushing for an emergency launch to prevent evictions, while City Council members demand stronger tenant protections—warning the current plan could let landlords cash in and hike rents. The mayor accuses them of political delay, but council members insist on embedding safeguards to ensure taxpayer dollars actually keep families housed, even if it means working through the summer recess.
