AOC says the White House and conservative Democrats are to blame for allowing evictions to resume
She also called out the Biden administration for its lack of transparency, which she said put Congress in a bind. “We asked the Biden administration for their stance, and they were not being really forthright about that advocacy and that request until the day before the House adjourned,” she said. “The House was put into a needlessly difficult situation.”
The House still has time to act and pass a bill extending the eviction ban, although getting that legislation through the Senate, where the Democrats have a very narrow majority, might be tougher than passing it in the House. Ocasio-Cortez said on Sunday that House members have been instructed they may need to return to the Capitol with just 24-hours notice because the Senate is working on an infrastructure bill, so they could also be called back to extend the eviction moratorium.
Another issue affecting renters is the fact that although Congress allocated tens of billions of dollars to go toward rental assistance for renters and landlords, states and local governments have not yet given out the vast majority of funds—only $3 billion of $46 billion has been disbursed.
