The White House said Monday that it was unable to find a legal means to extend the eviction moratorium, despite the fact that millions of Americans could soon lose their homes even as the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread.
Late last week, Psaki issued a statement pressuring Congress to act, but the House went into recess before a vote could be held. Were it to pass the House, it is unclear if an extension of the moratorium would be able to pass the Senate.The federal eviction moratorium expired over the weekend, yet more than 6.5 million U.S. households are currently behind in rental payments totaling more than $20 billion, according to a study by the Aspen Institute and the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project.
Renters in some areas are still protected by state and local moratoriums, some of which have been extended as the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases continues to rise nationwide. A judge in DeKalb County, Ga., signed an emergency executive order over the weekend“This emergency order is a godsend,” DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond said in a news release.
