LATEST: CDC issues new eviction moratorium for regions of the country with 'substantial and high transmission' of the coronavirus.
for regions of the country with"substantial and high transmission" of the coronavirus, following days of finger-pointing among Democrats for allowing the nationwide ban to expire on Saturday.improve their Covid rates and do not experience substantial and high transmission for 14 consecutive days, tenants will no longer be protected by the CDC moratorium. Similarly, if Covid cases worsen in a county, renters might become protected by the CDC order.
The original ban was put in place in September in an effort to keep people in their homes. The moratorium was extended multiple times, but the CDC made clear in June that a court order prohibited them from extending it beyond July 31. that decision was made in part because the ban was expiring in July and said that any further extension would require congressional action. Gene Sperling, who is overseeing the White House's rollout of Covid emergency funds, said the ruling presented a"difficult obstacle" to the CDC and the White House.
Pelosi acknowledged the pain being felt by landlords who run small rental operations and who haven’t received rent checks in a year, but she encouraged Yellen and the White House to “briefly extend the moratorium to allow for the money to be distributed,” according to two people on the call who asked to remain anonymous.
Yellen told the lawmakers on the call that Treasury has already distributed 40 percent of the most recent $45 billion funds for rental aid.
