Research Service ~ ~~ ~informing the legis!ative debate since 1914___________________ COVID-19: Financial Relief and Assistance Resources for Renters Updated April 12, 2021 This Insight highlights resources from selected federal agencies and other organizations that may aid renters at risk of eviction due to circumstances related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Federal-Level Protections On September 4, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an order temporarily halting residential evictions nationwide through December 31, 2020, for covered renters. Division N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260; enacted December 27, 2020) extended the CDC eviction moratorium through January 31, 2021 (@502) and provided $25 billion for Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) to be administered by state and local governments (@501). On January 29, 2021, the CDC extended the eviction moratorium through March 31, 2021, and extended the moratorium's application to American Samoa, which the previous order did not cover. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; enacted March 11, 2021) included an additional $21.55 billion for ERA (@3021). (For information about how states and localities may use their ERA allocations, see State- and Local-Level Assistance and Protections, below.) On March 29, 2021, the CDC extended the eviction moratorium through June 30, 2021. These actions follow the expiration of a previous federal eviction moratorium in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act; P.L. 116-136), which temporarily halted eviction filings for nonpayment of rent against renters residing in federally assisted properties or properties with federally backed mortgages. (See CRS Insight IN 11516, Federal Eviction Moratoriums in Response to the COVID- 19 Pandemic, by Maggie McCarty and Libby Perl.) The CARES Act also contained mortgage relief provisions for properties with federally backed mortgages, including the availability of mortgage forbearance. Property owners with federally backed multifamily mortgages (e.g., mortgages on properties with five or more housing units) that receive forbearance are required to abide by certain protections for renters for the duration of the forbearance.
