WASHINGTON: A nationwide eviction moratorium is set to expire Saturday night after President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress worked furiously but ultimately failed to align on a long-shot strategy to prevent millions of Americans from being forced from their homes during a COVID19 surge.
More than 3.6 million Americans are at risk of eviction, some in a matter of days, as nearly 47 billion in federal housing aid to the states during the pandemic has been slow to make it into the hands of renters and landlords owed payments. The moratorium expires at midnight Saturday.
Tensions mounted late Friday as it became clear there would be no resolution in sight. Hours before the ban was set to expire, Biden called on local governments to take all possible steps to immediately disburse the funds. Evictions could begin as soon as Monday. There can be no excuse for any state or locality not accelerating funds to landlords and tenants that have been hurt during this pandemic, Biden said in a statement.
Every state and local government must get these funds out to ensure we prevent every eviction we can, he said.
