Interest Growing in Renewed Pandemic Relief
More Representatives and Senators are talking openly about the need for renewed and additional pandemic relief for individuals, nonprofits, and for-profit businesses, although cost tradeoffs abound. Numerous funding and tax provisions enacted during the pandemic expired by the end of 2021, including items usually included in disaster-relief packages, such as charitable giving incentives, employee retention credits, and payroll tax deferrals, as well as the expanded child tax credit. For more than a month, Senators have discussed putting more money into a restaurant relief fund and other business supports. Now, numerous publications are reporting an increased sense of urgency and willingness by policymakers to consider restoring expired relief provisions for nonprofits and others.
- Roll Call is highlighting advocacy efforts by charitable organizations to restore more generous tax breaks for charitable giving as Congress considers a fresh round of pandemic aid with the omicron variant caseload still at worrying levels.
- On the Employee Retention Tax Credit, reports quote Senate Finance Committee Chair Wyden (D-OR), whose committee has jurisdiction over the provision, as saying, “I like this program; I think it makes sense and I want to talk to my colleagues about what we can do.”
However, a Washington Post article generally highlighting interest in additional relief quotes Senate Republican Leader McConnell (R-KY) as saying, “Let’s start the discussion by talking about repurposing the hundreds of billions already sitting in the pipeline.” This suggests that he and other Republicans are likely to seek to claw back previously approved funds, including what’s still available of the $350 billion in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Relief Funds enacted as part of the American Rescue Plan Act with only Democratic votes.

New Report Highlights Tactics Used by Renters to Meet Household Needs
A new report by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS), “Making the Rent: Household Spending Strategies During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” examines how households have managed their finances and rental payments in response to income-loss during the pandemic. Among households that lost income, households with extremely low incomes, households of color, and households with children were more likely to fall behind on rent compared to high-income households, white households, and households without children. Among low-income households and households of color that lost income during the pandemic, those that fell behind on rent were more likely than those that did not fall behind to borrow from friends and family to make ends meet.
