The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) put in place a new eviction moratorium that will run through Oct. 3, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It applies to counties experiencing substantial and high levels of community transmission levels of COVID-19, which is an estimated 90% of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDC says the eviction moratorium allows additional time for rent relief while people get vaccinated against the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden administration faced pressure from Democrats to reinstate an eviction moratorium after the previous one expired at the end of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., who had slept outside the Capitol in protest of the eviction moratorium lapse, said she is thankful that families will get to stay in their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is concern the new eviction moratorium will not hold up in court. President Joe Biden previously said a U.S. Supreme Court ruling meant Congress would have to act to extend the eviction moratorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Biden pushed the CDC to find any legal means to justify extending the moratorium on evictions. In its order, the CDC cites the rise of the delta variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the eviction moratorium, the White House announced Monday new initiatives to keep people in their homes.<\/a> The president called on governors to act urgently and utilize the $47 billion in relief money to make sure renters were not forced out onto the streets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
