The White House said Monday that it was unable to find a legal means to extend the eviction moratorium, despite the fact that millions of Americans could soon lose their homes even as the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has “been unable to find legal authority for a new, targeted eviction moratorium,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement. “Our team is redoubling efforts to identify all available legal authorities to provide necessary protections.”
Citing a Supreme Court decision issued in late June, the White House said it was unable to unilaterally extend the moratorium for evictions. Late last week, Psaki issued a statement pressuring Congress to act, but the House went into recess before a vote could be held. Were it to pass the House, it is unclear if an extension of the moratorium would be able to pass the Senate.

While billions of dollars in rental aid was allocated through federal pandemic relief plans, some states - including those with both Democratic and Republican leadership - have been slow to distribute it. To date, only about $3 billion of the $47 billion Emergency Rental Assistance program has been used. With landlords unable to collect rent, there is a domino effect that can have an impact on the larger housing market when regular payments aren’t made to landlords and mortgage holders.
In a letter to colleagues released Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraged Democratic members to work in their districts to get the funds distributed. On Friday, however, Pelosi told reporters that “we only learned of [the end of the eviction moratorium] yesterday.”
In a Sunday interview with CNN, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Democrats shared the blame for the expiration of the moratorium.

Maybe some people could pay their rent by start a painting career. Apparently they can be very lucrative.
Since when has Biden worried about “legal means”?
i dunno maybe the lockdown was a bad idea
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has “been unable to find legal authority for a new, targeted eviction moratorium
Well good...that was never their job in the first place.
This overblown whining is disgusting. These people are stealing property! I am no fan of landlords, particularly, but they have to pay their bill also. The fedgov has no right OR authority to steal their holdings.
Maybe Hunter should start an art school and teach folks how to paint and sell their artwork to Chinese folks.
I think the media wants me to know 2 things:
1) Biden is doing an awesome job managing the economy and everything is swell.
2) Millions of Americans could soon lose their homes.
The only reason they can’t find a way to extend the moratorium is that they want it to end.
The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution. The moratorium does not promote the revolution the way a few million evictions, providing a ready source of “almost peaceful protests,” will.
Hold on. Just trying to put two and two together here -
Pelosi: Obamacare Allows You to Quit Your Job and Become ‘Whatever’
“You want to be a photographer or a writer or a musician, whatever - an artist...”
https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/pelosi-obamacare-allows-you-quit-your-job-and-become-whatever
Meanwhile the Biden Administration is paying for housing, food and medical care for thousands of illegals crossing our border....
It’s insane to kick your citizens out of their homes while bringing in illegals to take their spot...
Now it's a manufactured crisis for "fundamentally changing America" to a socialist totalitarian regime, snatching every last liberty you held.
Fauci made a weapon bug. It got out and could have been much worse. It all stays classified. Time to move on.
The fact that the lockdown was probably the number one reason for failure to repay mortgage loans has never been connected by all the shallow thinkers on Capitol Hill. This was a totally artificial depression created by inordinate distortion of the economy, without regard to the market forces in play here.
If the costs of home ownership rise too high, the owner must, willingly or otherwise, give up the stake in ownership, and allow title to pass to holders in due course. It’s called foreclosure if forced, and downsizing if not forced, but it means transfer of title to others more able to meet the costs of the property ownership.
What’s REALLY behind the war on home ownership?
Becoming a “Nation of Renters” is clearly a big part of the New Normal.

Which means, this weekend, while Senators adjourn to the summer homes they probably don’t rent, the ban will officially end and a lot of people are likely to have their houses foreclosed or their landlords kick them out.
The newly empty buildings will be a feeding frenzy for the massive corporate landlords. Who will descend on the banks like starving hyenas to snap up the foreclosed properties for pennies on the dollar. Just like they did in 2008.
None of this is any secret, it’s been covered in the mainstream. Tucker Carlson even did a segment on it in early June.
The Wall Street Journal headlined, back in April, “If You Sell a House These Days, the Buyer Might Be a Pension Fund”, and reported:
Yield-chasing investors are snapping up single-family homes, competing with ordinary Americans and driving up prices...
But this isn’t just about money. It never is. Just as the war on cash isn’t just about efficiency, and the environmental push isn’t just about climate change. Ditto veganism. It’s about control. Just like vaccines, lockdowns and masks.
It always comes down to control.
It’s an oft-used cliche, but no less true for that, that homeowning “gives people a stake in society”. A family-owned house is a source of security for the future and something to leave your children. It is also sovereignty and privacy. Your own space that no one else can control or take away.
In short: A homeowner is independent. A renter is not. A renter can be controlled. A homeowner can not.
It’s the same reasoning behind the way working people were encouraged to take out loans and become debt slaves. If you limit people’s options, if you make them rely on you for a roof over their heads, you have control over them.
There’s a great article about this situation called “Your New Feudal Overlords”.

This is obvious. It’s really kind of fascinating in a way.
It’s all part of the plan to abolish private ownership of housing. The government then totally controls you!
After all is said and done the Biden Administration will ALWAYS SIDE WITH THE PEOPLE WITH MONEY.
That Biden guy is a pervert and is addicted, but NOT to sex...but to
GREED...in the form of MONEY.
“White House says it has been unable to find way to extend eviction moratorium”
Translation: Too many Democrat property owners are losing their shirts over renters not paying their rents.
Sure - so let's do it again!!
“It’s all part of the plan to abolish private ownership of housing. The government then totally controls you”!
That is what the Great Reset is all about. Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum which is implementing it says by 2030 we will own nothing.
