Leader Schumer: "I applaud the CDC for imposing an eviction moratorium for the vast majority of the population. I particularly applaud Rep. Cori Bush who understands what it's like to be evicted and who took her passion and turned it into amazingly effective action."

Rep. Cori Bush says progressives are “already gearing up” for the next eviction fight: “Let’s be clear, activists are in Congress. So expect for things to be different.”

CONFIRMED: President Biden is expected to announce a new federal eviction moratorium to replace the one that expired on Saturday — targeting counties with elevated rates of coronavirus infections, according to WH and Hill sources. It's expected to cover 90% of renters population.

Cori Bush @CoriBush · Jul 31
I’m calling on @POTUS to extend the eviction moratorium.

I’m calling on @SpeakerPelosi to reconvene the House for a vote.

I’m calling on @SenSchumer to extend the eviction moratorium in the Senate.

We control the House, Senate, and White House. We must keep people housed.

12. Recommended.

13. thank you for sticking to it and making congress pass this before vaca.

eggscllent.

14. Probably unenforceable, again

And also terrible policy not backed by science. It is doing more harm than good. Hundreds of thousands of small landlords are being treated unfairly.

[Demobrat]

19. Yes. It's the small landlords bearing the financial brunt.

They need to get paid, and without jumping through hoops or wading through 50 page applications.

I seriously doubt if most of them really want to evict tenants who lost their incomes because of the pandemic. They just want to be able to pay the mortgages on their properties. If the properties go to the banks everyone loses.

15. When people tell you there is no real difference between the political parties

Tell them about Cori Bush.

[Takket]

16. LOL AOC just clowned a dumbass editorial

17. Won't SCOTUS kill this?

And why is it fair that small landlords nationwide are getting killed by eviction moratoriums and not getting compensation?

[Arazi]

20. They can get full reimbursement from the rent relief fund

The states need to make it easier and faster to apply and get their funds. We should be pressing our governors to release this money stat.

This new moratorium gives everyone breathing room to keep people housed and not in crowded shelters during this recent Covid spike
