FEATURED REPORT
Mitigating Housing Instability During the COVID-19 Pandemic
This Policy Spotlight suggests remedies to the current, national housing crisis based on an analysis of policies adopted to counter the housing market crash of 2008.
The COVID-19 pandemic put millions of Americans out of work and at risk of homelessness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) placed an emergency moratorium on evictions, but the expiration of that moratorium and
others enacted by states threaten to bring a flood of evictions.
Nationally, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household PULSE Survey found that between August and November last year, 15% to 18% of renters were behind on their rent each week.
