The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended its federal moratorium on evictions until June 30 to help slow the spread of COVID-19. BNC’s Bofta Yimam joined “Start Your Day” to discuss the details. This latest extension is the third time the deadline was extended. The CDC issued the order in September 2020 and it was supposed to expire at the end of that year. It was then extended in December and again after President Joe Biden took office. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said it is important to keep people in their homes and out of “crowded or congregate settings” to help stop the spread of COVID-19. A study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities looked at the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on food, housing and employment hardships. It found that the impacts of the pandemic and economic fallout were widespread but Black, Latino, Indigenous and immigrant households were impacted more harshly.
