Here's What You Need To Know About The New Eviction Ban
"The COVID-19 pandemic has just exacerbated those unjust housing outcomes that were already present. And the people who had the least amount of resources and defenses are the people who are being most impacted by this pandemic. So we just have injustice after injustice piling on top of one another for these communities."
The Stigma of a Scarlet E
"Eviction cases — called Scarlet E's — are a stubborn blot on a renter's history. Piecemeal privacy legislation in some states may not be enough to protect millions of struggling tenants."
Eviction Moratorium Doesn't End Fears About Students and Homelessness Amid COVID
"The federal government has moved to extend protections that shield people from evictions until later this year, although the extent to which the decision will buy sufficient time for students on the brink of homelessness in an uncertain economy and evolving pandemic remains to be seen."
The Hallway, Not Courtroom, Is Where Things Really Get Done at this Eviction Court
"The latest CDC eviction moratorium is in effect for most of the country until early October. Yet Columbus, Ohio, is one place where eviction court proceedings have continued throughout the pandemic. NPR's Laurel Wamsley spent time in court there this week and heard what some renters are facing."
