President Biden To Allow Eviction Moratorium To Expire Saturday

Roughly 3.6 million people in the U.S. say they face eviction in the next two months.

The Biden administration will allow a nationwide ban on evictions to expire Saturday, arguing that its hands are tied after the Supreme Court signaled it could only be extended until the end of the month. In a statement Thursday, the White House said President Joe Biden would have liked to have extended the federal eviction moratorium due to spread of the delta variant. President Biden called on "Congress to extend the eviction moratorium to protect such vulnerable renters and their families without delay." The moratorium was put in place put in place last September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
