. Keeping people in their homes and out of crowded or congregate settings — like homeless shelters — by preventing evictions is a key step in helping to stop the spread of COVID-19," the release said.

In asent late Monday, 44 House Democrats including Reps.

I guess its a start
So let me get this straight. The Center for Disease Control is now controlling evictions? The Biden administration is unreal. So when landlords have issue will they contact the CDC? Lesson: never, ever, give more control to the gov’t. Abuse is unreal.
Why, get off of your ass and go back to work
open the jobs back up already... enough is enough
Is the CDC using any of their funding to help property owners with their mortgage payments since they're being forced to let people to occupy their properties rent free? It's kind of tough to make those monthly mortgage payments to the bank with no rental income coming in.

Doesn't anyone else find it weird that the center for disease control is making a decision about people's rent?
kuku27 There is no money for basic things, where is contribution of property owners in helping needy in times of pandemic, a global disaster of unknown proportions. You need help your society and humans , protect them from penury and homeless situation
More and more socialist by the day it seems.
How the hell does the cdc make this call?
The CDC has no authority to issue, much less extend, an eviction moratorium. The fact that our 'leaders' are scared to state the obvious is our downfall.
How do non elected asses like the CDC get to decide stuff like this? Complete bullshit
There's gonna be a shortage of forklift operators trying to remove fat ass shut-ins from their bedroom windows.
Should tell that to the landlords.
Since when does the CDC have this power? Who authorized it?
Extend student loan cancellation
Go. Back. To. Work.
