C.D.C. Eviction Moratorium Fact Sheet

On August 3, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control (C.D.C) announced a new national eviction moratorium for many tenants in the U.S to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The order is in effect from August 3, 2021 through October 3, 2021 for tenants living in counties experiencing high or substantial rates of COVID-19 transmission. Tenants who have filed a declaration under the previous CDC moratorium that expired July 31st do not need to resubmit. The order does not replace or override stronger state or local eviction protections in place and tenants and advocates should continue to work for strong local, state, and federal protections.

Congress has made over $40 billion in rent and utility assistance available through states and counties. Go to https://bit.ly/CFPBERAP to find out how to apply in your area.
