Fears of an increase in evictions grow as the federal eviction moratorium expires.Responding to political pressure from Democratic leaders and progressives in Congress to extend the federal ban on evictions that expired Saturday, the Biden administration announced Monday new measures to prevent evictions -- but they fell short of the full extension Democrats pushed for, with White House officials continuing to argue they're constrained from doing more by a Supreme Court ruling.
"This temporary measure would spur States and localities to ramp up Emergency Rental Assistance programs to full speed this month, giving every landlord the opportunity to collect the rent they are owed and ensuring no eligible family gets evicted," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement.
The administration also is calling on state and local courts to heed the call of the Justice Department to pause eviction proceedings until tenants and landlords can first seek to access congressionally allocated emergency rental assistance funds. Responding directly to Democratic critics, Biden is instructing the Treasury Department to look into why it's taken so long for states to distribute the nearly $47 billion in congressionally-allocated funds for rental assistance -- of which only $3 billion has been used.
I want you to keep an open mind so you can make an informed decision! If you want, you can read a bloated government report on smoking, or go straight to the horse's mouth and get the facts from the tobacco industry.
What's happened to the unused $44billion, asks no one
Pelosi...yea ok.
thanks

Expiration of eviction moratorium leaves White House and congressional Democrats scramblingWhite House officials on Monday described a behind-the-scenes scramble over the weekend to locate any legal avenue for the administration to continue barring evictions. The effort ultimately came up short, the officials said. You’d have to get congress to you know… pass legislation! I know its scary cause they would have to be accountable. As it should have. We don't need moratoriums. Businesses have been begging for workers for months. I just think this was going to have to end. How long can you live for free? I really worry for anyone in this position but we all knew it would end.

Pelosi, Democrats call on Biden to extend eviction banWASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democratic leaders on Sunday called on the Biden administration to immediately extend the nation's eviction moratorium, calling it a “moral imperative” to prevent Americans from being put out of their homes during a COVID-19 surge. Simply “extending” this isn’t the answer …. at some point …. you’ve gotta deal with the fact that tenants are behind on the rent …. at least 6 million people don’t make enough money to actually catch up …. so what’s the plan Extend it for what? It should have stopped months ago. The back rent still is owed. The majority not paying rent have no intention of ever paying rent. Meanwhile property owners are still paying mortgages and property taxes. Student loans, girl of generational wealth.
