Biden faces decision time on eviction moratorium
President Biden must decide by Wednesday whether to extend a federal eviction ban as his administration races to send out billions in housing aid to millions of Americans struggling to afford rent.
An eviction moratorium imposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in September is set to expire at the end of the month and is teetering on shaky legal ground after losses in federal court.
Even with an accelerating vaccination campaign, COVID-19 cases are delaying a return to normal economic life and prolonging the recovery for vulnerable households.
More than 10 million Americans are facing housing insecurity, 5.4 million expect to face eviction or foreclosure soon, and more than 78 million said they're having trouble covering basic expenses, according to a Census Bureau survey conducted earlier this month.
