NEW YORK — One of the more daunting tasks facing refugees from the war in Ukraine who come to New York is finding a place to live. A Manhattan real estate executive has been helping to find them apartments at reduced rents with the help of two Ukrainian sisters who work for him.
Bob Perl, a real estate broker who owns properties in the neighborhood known as Little Ukraine in Manhattan's East Village, started the Ukrainian Habitat Fund because he was deeply affected by the plight of the refugees.
