The 2,258 Craven County households behind on rent may dread August for another reason: eviction. The pandemic has affected everyone who lost employment and the ability to meet their housing needs, said Tiffany Askew, executive director of the Housing Authority of the City of New Bern. Statewide, 206,000 households are behind on rent, 64 percent are people of color and 49 percent just lost income in the past month.

The moratorium was extended after its initial expiration date, however, its official end date is July 30.
