Psaki spoke on the eviction moratorium and the resources available to states to assist renters and landlords.
The White House said on Monday that United States President Joe Biden wished to extend the country s eviction moratorium but lacked the legal authority to do so, which allowed the protection to expire over the weekend.
The incident has put pressure onto many states that were not quick enough in distributing billions of dollars in financial assistance to millions of American renters. Residents are now facing the possibility of being forced out of their homes.
