The COVID-19 crisis has hit families hard and paying rent has become nearly impossible for millions. In the last relief bill, Congress extended the federal eviction moratorium until January 31 and approved $25 billion in rental assistance, but that's simply not enough.

That's why Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and I recently led 63 of our colleagues in calling on the Biden-Harris Administration to prioritize the housing and homelessness crisis, sign an executive order to halt evictions and work with Congress to pass rent relief.

And while I'm pleased that President Biden extended the ban until March 31, I'm going to continue fighting to ensure my constituents have the support they need to survive this crisis.

Have you completed my survey on legislative priorities for this new session of Congress? With a new administration, the House and Senate have a great opportunity to pass meaningful bills that uplift our vulnerable communities.

I want to hear from you: What should I prioritize in the 117th Congress?
