*CDC Extends Eviction Moratorium for 30 Days, President Biden Activates
Whole of Government to Prevent Evictions*

The Biden administration announced
<https://nlihc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e702259618becdc3f0451bd5d&id=a855431450&e=c97d5ce37d>
today
that it will extend the federal eviction moratorium issued by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through July 31, and it will
implement a whole-of-government approach to prevent a historic wave of
evictions this summer, as NLIHC urged the administration to do. The
moratorium was set to expire next week.

*These actions from the White House extend an essential lifeline to
millions of renters who remain behind on rent and would be at heightened
risk of eviction when the moratorium expires.*

Extending the eviction moratorium through July gives state and local
governments more time to distribute more than $46 billion in emergency
rental assistance (ERA) to those most in need. The administration’s
whole-of-government effort to stem evictions and help ensure ERA is
provided efficiently, effectively, and equitably can keep families safely
housed and bolster the administration’s efforts to contain COVID-19. While
in many areas in the U.S. vaccination rates are up and COVID-19 caseloads
are down, communities with lower vaccination rates and more COVID-19 cases
tend to be the same communities

that
have large numbers of renters at heightened risk of eviction.

NLIHC urged
<https://nlihc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e702259618becdc3f0451bd5d&id=325b0b57a6&e=c97d5ce37d>
the
Biden administration to use every tool possible to prevent evictions, and
the White House adopted many of our recommendations.  In addition to
extending the eviction moratorium, the White House will:

   - Convene a summit to bring together local teams to develop
   eviction-prevention action plans.
   - Issue new guidance from Treasury for the ERA program to accelerate and
   broaden state and local delivery of funds.
   - Have the Department of Justice send guidance to state courts
   encouraging them to adopt anti-eviction diversion practices.
   - Provide guidance from HUD to help prevent Fair Housing Act violations
   related to evictions.
   - Activate a whole-of-government effort to raise awareness about
   emergency rental assistance, tapping agencies including Treasury, HUD,
   CFPB, DOJ, and USDA to inform tenants and landlords of available support.

*To amplify and accelerate these efforts, **NLIHC is launching a national
Call to Action to End Rental Arrears to Stop Evictions (ERASE)*.

At least 6 million renter households are still behind on rent: state and
local governments must use the next month to quickly and aggressively
strengthen their emergency rental assistance programs to avert an historic
wave of evictions this summer and fall.

With research, tools, capacity building grants, learning cohorts and more
NLIHC will urge state and local advocates, city and state officials, and
program administrators act quickly to make their emergency rental
assistance programs*:*

   1. *Visible: *Conduct equitable and robust marketing and outreach
   efforts to ensure that all renters and landlords know about ERA and how to
   access it in their communities.
   2. *Accessible:* Help tenants and landlords receive aid by ensuring an
   accessible, streamlined, and low-barrier ERA application process.
   3. *Preventative*: Prevent evictions or housing displacement by creating
   formal partnerships with state and local courts to support eviction
   prevention and eviction diversion in coordination with ERA.

*How can you participate in ERASE?*

   - *Governors and Mayors.*  Adopt state and local policies needed to
   ensure ERA programs are visible, accessible, and preventative.
   - *Program Administrators.* Use NLIHC resources
   <https://nlihc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e702259618becdc3f0451bd5d&id=c970b6a8fe&e=c97d5ce37d>
    and guidance
   <https://nlihc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e702259618becdc3f0451bd5d&id=bfa99d3fa3&e=c97d5ce37d>
to
   make ERA programs accessible, streamlined, and low-barrier.
   - *Tenants and Landlords.* Share your experience. Assist neighbors and
   friends who might be in need. Advocate for ERA programs to course-correct.
   - *State and Local Courts. *Leverage ERA to support eviction prevention
   and diversion.
   - *State and Local Coalitions*. Urge your state and local governments to
   implement key visibility, accessibility, and preventative elements into
   your ERA programs. Send letters and written guidance; convene stakeholders,
   including tenants and other state and local coalitions to add their voices
   to the effort; and track outcomes and use this information to advocate for
   further improvements.

Gallagher, ERASE senior director, at: sgallagher at nlihc.org
