A nat’l moratorium on evictions is long overdue and badly needed. As we’ve said for 5 months, the very least the federal government ought to do is assure each of us that we won’t lose our homes in the middle of a global pandemic.
The administration’s action would do just that, and will provide relief from the growing threat of eviction for millions of anxious families.
But while an eviction moratorium is essential, it is a half-measure that extends a financial cliff for renters to fall off when the moratorium expires and back rent is owed.
This action delays but does not prevent evictions.

Congress & the White House must #GetBackToWork on negotiations to enact a COVID-19 relief bill with at least $100 billion in emergency rental assistance. Together w/nat’l eviction moratorium, this would keep renters stably housed during and after pandemic.
