Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, had said in June this would be the last time the moratorium would be extended when she set the deadline for July 31. It was initially put in place to prevent further spread of COVID-19 by people put out on the streets and into shelters.
“The confluence of the surging Delta variant with 6.5 million families behind on rent and at risk of eviction when the moratorium expires demands immediate action,” Diane Yentel, executive director of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, said. “The public health necessity of extended protections for renters is obvious.
Despite these efforts, some Democratic lawmakers had demanded the administration extend the moratorium.
People really mad at Landlords who saved money, got loans to create an extra passive income. There are jobs out there, people who really need help are very few and those need help but there’s a bunch of people that wants to ride this no-working mentality as long as they can.
Emily wilder?
Poverty is a policy choice Soaring rents and a $7.25 minimum wage, 40 million families facing homelessness These families didn’t slip into poverty, they were pushed
I for on am glad it's ending. Maybe then landlords will stop price gouging. Rent here is up hundreds of dollars from what it was pre-pandemic. We lost our house in a fire a few weeks ago and can't find anything!
'someone should really do something' - the president of the united states
Ah so we can give the military more money but somehow can't help renters & home owners? Someone make this make sense cause i can't!
Why extend? If you're working then there is no problem. If you aren't working go find a job there are plenty.
GOP=Misery.
Your hands are not tied, you just needed to get Congress involved WAY before now. Like, say, before this expiration date on SATURDAY!
Even if there’s no moratorium, it takes 6 months to a year to evict in NY, some low lives haven’t paid rent in over 2 years already! They’re taking advantage of the system and spending money on other things!!
Property tax must get paid.
dianeyentel Biggest issue - not enough time being given to distribute billions of dollars in rental assistance that could prevent millions of evictions. No excuses for Potus, Congress or the CDCgov. Waiting til the last minute to say my hands are tied when they all had time to fix it.
Good they did not pay their rent with stimulus checks so throw them out. sick of this free crap that we work for and they get.
A colossal failure of the POTUS JoeBiden VP KamalaHarris administration in conjunction with garbled & dangerous messaging from the CDCgov CDCDirector. You have just sentenced 8 million to overcrowded and unhealthy environments. Biden doesn't give a shit about poor people.
Rolling strike now into general strike 10/15/21
Is it supposed to go on forever? Extend unemployment, give child tax credits, cancel rent, forgive student loans..etc. Sorry, get a job or two.
Kind of unfair to say allow when they have no options because courts told him he cant do it again. It has to be done through congress. The president does not have unlimited power kind of the bases of our whole government.
The homeless population will rise

Biden wants you to believe he’s powerless to help the your most vulnerable citizens but his hands never seems to tied when it comes to bombing innocent civilians or applying cruel sanctions. How is this not a failed state?
Time to rid the nation of lazy renter scum! Evict them immediately and raise the rent to what the market demands! Good times are coming back!
Letting this expire is DeFiniTeLy going to have a positive impact on the pandemic
This is truly bullshit.
So the headline under the photo blames Biden, but the tweet makes (more) clear it’s actually the Courts who are responsible and Congress that needs to fix it. Nice job. 😑
Extend ban Congress
People in congress want to get paid for renting too; their grace only goes so far when there’s money to be made. POTUS, the minimum wage is still the same it’s been for YEARS, how long will your words contradict action? Same goes for all politicians.
Honestly I assumed we were diligently working on a... smoother transition than this... over the last few months.
The sad reality homelessness is going to rise dramatically…but rent has to be paid.
thing is, within a month, states and municipalities will be trying to mitigate the consequences and effects on their economies as mass evictions and foreclosures spike homelessness and financial distress. Nothing's been put in place for that certain eventuality.
