Biden s extended eviction moratorium and stimulus plan would make a big difference for renters, but advocates stress the need for additional help
INSIDER 22/01/2021
Biden signed an executive action Wednesday to extend the federal eviction moratorium through March.
Some experts want a broader moratorium, others say extensions will lead to more debt for renters.
The housing and rental crisis has hit communities of color especially hard.
Biden s $1.9 trillion stimulus package, The American Rescue Plan, includes many housing-related policies: $30 billion in rental and utility assistance, $5 billion to help prevent outbreaks among the homeless, and an even longer extension of the national eviction moratorium through September - efforts that would make a big difference in struggling communities, according to housing experts.
