During the most recent national call on coronavirus, disasters, housing, and homelessness, we discussed increased eviction filings by corporate landlords, heard about updates to the Framework for an Equitable COVID-19 Homelessness Response, received field updates, and discussed the state of coronavirus and disaster relief negotiations.
Nan Roman, president and CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, discussed updates to their Framework for an Equitable COVID-19 Homelessness Response. These updates include recommendations for cultural competence, rural strategies, subpopulations, and a framework for equity-based decision-making. Max Weinstein, chief of the Consumer Protection Division for the Office of Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, shared the attorney general’s actions to prevent landlord intimidation. Jim Baker discussed the Private Equity Stakeholder Project’s tracking of evictions by corporate landlords. Since the CDC eviction moratorium was announced, at least 11,500 eviction actions have been filed by large corporate landlords.
We received field updates from Ayuda Legal in Puerto Rico, North Carolina Housing Coalition, the Nebraska Housing Developers Association, and the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania. NLIHC’s Sarah Saadian shared updates on coronavirus and disaster relief bills.
