Biden extends federal eviction moratorium through March

A local housing program advocate says more Lancaster County residents in danger of losing their homes will get help due to an executive order signed by President Joe Biden on Wednesday. Biden extended the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s eviction moratorium through March — a protection for tenants who have faced economic hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The executive order comes after Biden’s transition team announced a $1.9 trillion economic relief plan last week, a package the new president will continue to push Congress to approve quickly. “By extending the CDC moratorium for another two months, the county and community partners will be able to review the U.S. Treasury guidelines and develop a program that isn’t rushed, and is fully planned, unlike what we saw with the state’s Rent Relief Program,” said Justin Eby, deputy executive director of Lancaster County Redevelopment Authority.

COVID-19 housing assistance leaves gaps; here s how Lancaster County organizations aim to fill them

Justin Eby spent months sounding the alarm about the state’s $150 million rent relief program. Eby’s concerns began in July when the program was launched and his team at the Lancaster County Housing and Redevelopment Authority was tasked with creating a process to disburse the county’s share of the relief funds — $2 million — to renters who had experienced job loss due to COVID-19. It was immediately evident to Eby that the program was plagued by problems: the application process was complicated and time consuming; the requirement that renters be 30 days in arrears limited the pool of eligible renters; and the legislatively mandated monthly rent cap of $750 discouraged some landlords from participating, meaning their tenants’ applications would be denied.
