During the most recent national call on coronavirus, disasters, housing, and homelessness, experts discussed the implications of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recent national eviction moratorium.
Matthew Desmond and Peter Hepburn of Princeton University’s Eviction Lab provided an update on the threat of evictions. Across the 17 sites they are tracking, there have been 46,758 eviction filings since March 15. Michael Levy of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania discussed how evictions can facilitate the spread of coronavirus. NLIHC’s Diane Yentel and Eric Dunn of the National Housing Law Project provided resources for and details on the CDC eviction moratorium. Kim Johnson and Joey Lindstrom of NLIHC provided updates on congressional actions and next steps for advocacy.
NLIHC hosts national calls on Coronavirus, Disasters, Housing, and Homelessness every week. On today’s call, we will be joined by partners in Oregon, Washington state, and California to discuss the devastation caused by the wildfires, and partners in Louisiana to share information about the recovery process from Hurricane Laura.
