The extra Federal payment of $600 in unemployment ended on Friday. That money may very well have been propping up rent payments for people renting apartments or homes.
Watch the evictions start multiplying.
That's especially true in Montgomery, which is already ranked 27th in the U.S. for evictions! In 2016, the year with the most recent figures, there were 5.68 evictions in Montgomery every day.
UPDATE From a USA Today story:
[The next round of coronavirus relief will extend
the federal eviction moratorium that has protected millions of Americans
from losing their homes during the pandemic, a top White House advisor
said Sunday.
In an interview on CNN’s “State
of the Union,” White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow said Sunday
that the Trump administration plans to "lengthen" the federal eviction
moratorium, which expired Friday. The eviction ban, which was included
in the CARES Act legislation in March, covered renters living in
buildings with federally backed mortgages.
“People are worried about being evicted, in days. Literally in days,” host Jake Tapper said in the interview.
"We will lengthen the eviction, we will lengthen it,” Kudlow said.]
