Extended CDC Pandemic Eviction Ban Delays Day Of Reckoning For Thousands Of Georgia Tenants

Hundreds of thousands of Georgians who lost income in the pandemic,
falling behind on their rent payments and putting them at increased
risk for eviction, just got another reprieve. After a previous CDC
eviction ban expired earlier this week the Biden administration has
again frozen evictions, this time until early October. The new
moratorium aims to cover renters in counties with “substantial”
spread of the delta coronavirus variant. But, for the state’s most
vulnerable families living on the economic margins, the realities
of finding and maintaining safe, affordable housing were much more
complicated long before the pandemic hit.
