Millions of Americans could face eviction as national ban expires in June
Heather Jordan has been approved for rental assistance in Missouri, but it could take weeks for the money to reach her landlord, who has already moved to evict her.
"If you've got the moratorium in place, it allows you the time to get the landlord paid," said Jordan, 48, who fell behind on her $1,475 rent after she lost her sales job shortly before the pandemic. Her wife is disabled and can't work. If she and her family, including her wife, two children and two grandchildren, are evicted from their house in St. Louis, she doesn't know where they'll go. She's lived there for nine years, and finding a landlord to rent to her with an eviction on her record will be difficult.Eviction rates will likely be higher in some states than others.
For example, nearly 1 in 4 renters are behind on their housing payments in Florida and South Carolina, compared with 6% in Maine and Kentucky, according to The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
