On Friday, House leaders said they were trying to win enough votes to trim the extension to October 18, instead of extending through December.
The White House has adopted that position, indicating that it has taken the Supreme Court decision as official word that an extension needs approval from Congress.
"The administration is going to work together with leaders in Congress on potential avenues to extend the eviction moratorium to protect these vulnerable renters and their families," Jean-Pierre told reporters."We understand how critical that is how important it is." "The money's there, resting in localities and governor's offices across the country," she said."So we would like the CDC to expand moratorium, that's where it can be done.""Why should the renters be punished for the fact that the system did not put money in their pockets to pay the rent to the landlords?" she said.
She wrote courts could help tap into the federal dollars more quickly to prevent evictions and ensure landlords are paid.
