A key concern in Everett and surrounding communities since last November has been the lifting of the eviction moratorium and how that might affect thousands of residents and their housing situations, but initial statistics through Jan. 1 from the state Housing Court show Everett seems to be in a good position so far with a lower number of filed evictions.
It’s a piece of good news in what has been a huge worry for elected officials over the past several months, with many worrying that joblessness as a result of the pandemic could lead to massive numbers of people without homes. So far, that hasn’t come true, to the relief of everyone.
