The CDC Takes Steps to Extend the Eviction Moratorium
The CDC is poised to extend and possibly improve the moratorium on evictions. The eviction moratorium will expire in less than two weeks. The expiration could potentially put over 1 million people out of their homes. With nearly 10 million Americans behind on their rent, Congress approved over $50 billion for rental assistance. However, the state and local channels have just now opened up the application process. The vast majority of people who need the assistance will not receive it in time should the eviction moratorium be allowed to expire in March.
