Today’s Action: Reconvene the House and extend the federal eviction moratorium!
An estimated 7 million tenants were behind on rent as the eviction moratorium expired yesterday. While some states have been using pandemic aid as emergency rental assistance, distributing those funds is extremely challenging. The Biden administration announced Thursday that they would allow the moratorium to expire, after the Supreme Court stated that there would be no extension without congressional action.
We are living through an extraordinary housing crisis. According to a June Census Household Pulse Survey, 1.2 million households are "very likely" to be facing eviction this summer, which doesn’t include the aforementioned tenants who are behind on rent.
The housing market is skyrocketing, rental assistance programs are struggling, and families everywhere are facing thousands of dollars in back rent and utilities. Without an extension of the federal eviction moratorium, we can expect homelessness throughout the nation to rise.
Write your Representatives and demand that the House reconvene immediately to extend the federal eviction moratorium!
COVID-19 was a shock to our communities, and catching up on months of missed payments can feel impossible for working people. To be clear, the moratorium did not stop the bills from piling up, just evictions.
We need an extension on the federal eviction moratorium now to protect our neighbors struggling to bounce back from this global trauma. While many have returned back to their pre-pandemic lives, millions in our country are still suffering.
Write your Representatives and call for them to reconvene and extend the federal eviction moratorium today, before millions of people across the country are kicked out!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to require masks in schools during the delta surge!, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
