Real Estate Coalition Letter to the White House. HUD, and CDC Regarding CDC Eviction Moratorium
Issue Date: February 05, 2021
On February 5, NAR as part of a coalition of real estate orgnanizations sent a letter to Secretary-Designate Fudge, Director Walensky and Ambassador Rice. The letter expresses the signatories concern that the current Federal approach to addressing the significant housing challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic is failing to address the scope of damage in the housing sector and will not meet the needs of renters and housing providers. Extending the CDC eviction order is the wrong policy solution to the housing crisis created by the pandemic, especially without a sustained and robust rental assistance program in place. Furthermore, modifying the parameters of the CDC Order that enable housing providers to effectively manage their properties and protect the stability of the rental housing sector could make things even worse.
