The Biden administration will allow a nationwide pandemic ban on evictions to expire Saturday, arguing its hands are tied after the Supreme Court signaled it could only be extended until the end of July. Biden asked Congress to extend it 'without delay.'
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.
