August 3, 2021 - Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after the White House made its statement on its next steps to prevent evictions:

“The Administration’s statement that they will be taking action to find legal authority by the CDC or other authorities to extend the moratorium is welcome.  For the good of families on the verge of eviction, my Democratic House colleagues and I are hopeful that this initiative to extend the moratorium will be successful as soon as possible.

“In addition, I am pleased that the President is urging the states and municipalities to distribute the $46.5 billion that Congress allocated in the December Omnibus and American Rescue Plan.  House Members are hard at work in their districts to ensure that these funds are immediately disbursed to the landlords and the families to avoid eviction.”
