One in five Americans who live in rentals could face eviction by the end of September as Congressional Republicans move to cut off unemployment assistance and other coronavirus relief, according to an analysis by the Aspen Institute.
More than 20 million people roughly 20% of the 110 million Americans living in rented homes could face homelessness by the fall, according to the analysis, which used data from the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project.

going to face the biggest homelessness crisis that this country has faced in decades, probably since the Great Depression, former Democratic presidential candidate and HUD Secretary Julián Castro said in an interview with Salon. Weve never seen anything like that in our lifetime
Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump its not surprising that theyre so disconnected from the lives of everyday people. Thats what people are thinking about. Thats what theyre worrying about. How am I going to pay the rent?
The federal government and many state and local governments have issued partial emergency eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, though these vary in degrees of protection and are set to expire in the coming weeks. More than 20 states, including hard-hit Texas and South Carolina, have already allowed eviction proceedings to resume and only about a dozen states will have any eviction protections by the end of the summer unless further action is taken. The federal moratorium, which was implemented under the CARES Act, is set to expire on July 25, after which renters will get 30 days notice of eviction proceedings.

(31,125 posts)Republicans want people to be gone, I dont know how else to explain this without using words like dead or killed or die because that is what they want they want only their sycophants and the rest of us gone or dead.
Putin is in charge and he wants what we have and hes going to take it unless someone does something right fucking now.

If they can't, then I can certainly see the logic behind this.
Yes, it's disgusting, but like I said before, nothing surprises me anymore.

(12,712 posts)Will they be in any position to want that or make it a priority, especially if they are newly homeless and on the street?
That is very shocking, overwhelming, stressful, etc. You can just drop right into survival mode. Many things lose priority and matter less when your environment changes drastically and your only concerns become food, water, bathroom facilities, shelter, staying cooler in heat and warm in cold, dealing with fear based on your extreme vulnerability.
Let's just say that those folks who don't have a couch to surf on, family to take them in, or other alternatives will be very distracted from what is going on politically.

I agree.
Your priorities do shift dramatically, especially if you have kids.

Maybe we can update them for a new Depression: Trumptowns.

(34,661 posts)Eviction Notices as well as Foreclosure Notices are Generally Hand Delivered by either USPS or Fed EX before 10:00 AM. Certified,which takes a bid longer to get the Recipient Signature. Just had a Foreclosure go down two blocks down the street a month ago. USPS had the Certified on that one.
Appears a Rental Company here is not following State Moratorium on Rental Evictions. As per our Mail Carrier,he has had several Certified in the last couple weeks for Rentals .
