NEW YORK, NEW YORK – AUGUST 31: People gather at the New York City office of Gov. Kathy Hochul calling for a stop to evictions on August 31, 2021 in New York City. Housing activists and community members gathered and marched towards the NYC office of Gov. Hochul calling on her, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins to amend and extend the evictions moratorium, which expires tonight. Rent Stabilization Association, New York’s largest landlord group, has threatened to sue the state legislature if lawmakers extend the pandemic-era eviction moratorium. On August 12th, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against parts of New York’s eviction moratorium that allows renters to submit a hardship declaration form stating a loss of income due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic or that moving would harm their health.

The Biden administration has extended the nationwide ban on evictions for a month to help tenants who are unable to make rent payments during the coronavirus pandemic but says this is expected to be the last time it does so. Walensky extended the evictions moratorium from June 30 until July 31. The CDC said Thursday it’s “intended to be the final extension of the moratorium.” (Jim Lo Scalzo/Pool via AP)
