The House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing, Community Development and Insurance will convene a hearing titled "The Rent Is Still Due: America’s Renters, COVID-19, and an Unprecedented Eviction Crisis.” The hearing will be held virtually. The coronavirus pandemic presents a deep financial challenge for renters and homeowners across the country. In May, the House passed the “HEROES Act,” which includes $100 billion in emergency rental assistance to prevent widespread evictions from occurring once eviction moratoria are lifted and back rent is owed.
The HEROES Act also includes a national, uniform moratorium on evictions and foreclosures to ensure people are able to remain stably housed at a time where the health and well-being of our communities relies on the ability to stay at home.
