New federal eviction moratorium highlights urgent need for long-term rental assistance

The expiration of the CDC moratorium put many low-income renter households at greater risk of evictions, homelessness, and COVID infections. Even with a new eviction moratorium in place, Congress still has an opportunity in the upcoming budget process to address the underlying crisis that made households even more vulnerable during the pandemic: prioritize the expansion of long-term rental assistance through guaranteed multi-year funding for HCVs in the budget reconciliation.

Tax policy matters

Senate Democrats have announced an unprecedented $3.5 trillion in new investments in the budget resolution, which will likely be voted on this month. That in turn sets up the later budget reconciliation bill to be debated in the fall. The next three weeks of grassroots activity are crucial – and we urge you to get involved.

Administrative actions to strengthen anti-poverty programs

Under the tenure of former President Trump, several federal agencies changed rules for program standards that restricted access to effective anti-poverty programs for many families, especially those with immigrants and families of color. Since taking office, President Biden has reversed several of the prior administration’s actions – both the more well-known and more discrete to undo the disproportionate harm done to oppressed communities.

Taking action in community at the RESULTS Conference

Analysis & Commentary

Increasing access to safe and affordable homes through long-term rental assistance

A tight housing supply, rising rents, and stagnated wages are squeezing low-income American renters, putting them just one crisis away from eviction. Congress should make rental assistance available to all eligible households by including guaranteed, multi-year funding for Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) in recovery legislation. By closing the gap between what people earn and how much a safe and decent home reasonably costs, HCVs help ensure millions of low-income families can keep a roof over their head. HCVs lift millions of American families out of poverty and improve their health and education outcomes. If we do not increase long-term access to HCVs, the racial wealth divide will only widen, deepening the inequity and injustice in this country.
