President Trump signs an executive order giving the CDC broad authority to temporarily halt evictions during the coronavirus pandemic.
"The rent is due today, but too many families won’t be able to make payments through no fault of their own— pushing them deeper into debt and the prospect of being thrown out of their homes," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck SchumerWhite House deputy press secretary Brian Morgenstern said in a call with reporters on Tuesday that the order the president signed Tuesday will help millions of Americans stay in their homes.
The funds include billions allocated from the massive $2 trillion CARES Act Congress passed earlier this year as well as other government agencies, such as the Treasury and Housing and Urban Development, the White House said. "To prevent evictions that could exacerbate the spread of this pandemic, Americans need a place to be able to quarantine or isolate," the official said."Evictions undermine that objective."
