The Biden administration is expected to announce new efforts to limit evictions, targeting areas with high spread of coronavirus, an official says
An official familiar with the matter says the announcement will not be another nationwide eviction freeze but something more limited and targeted to places with high Covid spread. A source familiar with the effort said the announcement would be a 60-day moratorium for counties with high or substantial transmission, covering 80% of US counties and 90% of the US population.
Administration lawyers had been unable to identify how Biden could use his administrative authority to continue the eviction freeze following a late-June decision by the Supreme Court.White House officials and the CDC have been working for days to try and identify a pathway to address the implications of the July 31 expiration of the moratorium, as well as manage sharply negative political fallout driven by frustrated Democrats on Capitol Hill.
