NAA Represents Industry in Response to Eviction Moratorium Extension
On June 24 , 2021 , the U . S . Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) announced a one-month extension of their federal eviction moratorium , leaving the order scheduled to now expire on July 31 . The extended moratorium retains the core elements of the original order as well as the modifications added in the March extension . In their release , the CDC also noted that this is intended to be the last extension of the order .
In responding to the announcement , NAA consistently reiterated the detrimental effects that eviction moratoria have on the rental housing industry for both renters and housing providers alike . “ Flawed eviction moratoriums leave renters with insurmountable debt and housing providers holding the bag ,” said Bob Pinnegar , NAA president and CEO , in a statement released to the press . Further , NAA underscored that each extension of the eviction order further jeopardizes the ability of owners to provide safe , sustainable and affordable housing – pushing our nation ’ s housing affordability crisis into a housing affordability disaster .
In addition to robust advocacy and legal efforts , NAA will continue to be the industry ’ s voice in discussing ongoing challenges in the wake of the pandemic as well as the steadfast efforts of the association to support our members and deliver relief .
