- The Washington Times - Tuesday, August 3, 2021

The Biden administration will announce a new targeted moratorium on evictions, a source confirmed to The Washington Times on Tuesday, buckling to pressure from progressive House Democrats.

The new action will block evictions in counties with high rates of COVID-19 infections, the source confirmed. It is not clear when the new guidance will be released, but the announcement is expected to be made by the Centers for Disease and Prevention as early as Tuesday.

Tensions between the Biden administration and House Democrats escalated over the weekend, with each side blaming the other for letting the moratorium lapse, potentially leaving as many as 15 million people homeless.
