The nation is facing an eviction crisis and Oklahoma is no exception.
Community Cares Partners is a local organization here to help if you are on the verge of being evicted.
That moratorium ends March 31 as nearly 30,000 evictions are filed in the state. That means thousands of Oklahoma families are on the verge of homelessness. And while many have not been evicted yet, their rent is still racking up.
It doesn t wipe out rent that is owed. It just means people cannot be evicted because of this pandemic that is happening, said Axay Parekh, President of the Oklahoma Association of Realtors. It has been a double-pronged problem.
