Rental property owners in Illinois have been put on the back burner again as a state agency with hundreds of millions of federal tax dollars in wait pushes back the launch of a program providing assistance.
Monday, Gov. J.B. Pritzker defended the ongoing eviction moratorium, saying people lost their jobs during the pandemic.
“It was not right to push people into homelessness at just the moment when people need to have a home and they need protection,” Pritzker said.
The moratorium was put in place more than a year ago.
