Next week, some of the first are set to expire.
The housing economy and college students are just some of those that are wondering whether or not they will be extended once again.
On Saturday, the housing moratorium put in place to protect those who couldn’t afford rent during the pandemic is set to expire.
The Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency (NMCAA) says they hope it gets extended like it did earlier this year.
They say they still see families daily daily that are on the verge of losing their housing.
Sarah Hughes, Division Lead Homelessness Programs Manager for NMCAA says, “We get an average of between six and fifteen calls everyday from people that have backrest due or say that they’re being evicted and as soon as the moratorium is up they’re going to be kicked out.”
