The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is extending a moratorium on evictions for another three months.
The current moratorium was set to expire at the end of March, but CDC director Rochelle Walensky extended the expiration date to June 30th in an order released today. In a statement, Walensky called keeping people in their homes and out of homeless shelters a “key step” in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
The CDC order is in effect across the country, except in states that have equivalent or stronger anti-eviction policies in place. Georgia has no state-level orders concerning eviction for non-payment of rent.
