Weber County advocates worry as end of eviction moratorium looms

OGDEN — Out of work, unsure where they’d live because their landlord was pushing them out of their home, Rick and Nickole George were on pins and needles. For a time the blended family of six — rocked as the COVID-19 pandemic started taking a larger and larger toll, causing an economic downturn and putting many out of work across Utah and beyond — split up. They scattered to stay with varied relatives here and in Wyoming, and Rick worried it might get worse. “We were freaking out, for sure,” he said. “We both felt we were going to be homeless.” Fortunately, it didn’t get that bad. Thanks to a rental-assistance program launched with federal CARES Act funds and administered locally by the Ogden-Weber Community Action Partnership, or OWCAP, they received help paying their rent and a new place to live in Ogden. “We’re so grateful,” Nickole said.
