With state and federal restrictions on who can be evicted set to expire Dec. 31, a trio of state and federal developments will help keep many Connecticut renters in their homes through at least the end of January.
Gov. Ned Lamont announced Thursday he plans to extend the state’s eviction moratorium until Feb. 9. Congressional leaders announced Sunday evening they reached a deal on an economic stimulus package that housing advocates estimate will send an estimated $237.3 million to help Connecticut residents pay rent. The deal also extends the federal order to halt some evictions through January.

The federal ban on evictions expires in January. For millions that s when huge problems start.
Millions of U.S. renters face the prospect of eviction in January unless federal officials extend protections put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic.
That month is when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s ban on evictions is set to expire. The moratorium protects tenants who have missed monthly rent payments from being thrown out of their homes if they declare financial hardship. The CDC ordered the halt on evictions under the Public Health Service Act, which allows the federal government to enact regulations that help stop the spread of infectious diseases.
