Arizona ban on evictions set to end as heat, infections soar
Pennsylvania recently announced it will extend its moratorium until the end of August, while Boston will keep its ban on most public housing evictions until the end of the year. But advocates say it's too early to end the ban because most of the government money set aside to help pay rents and mortgages still hasn't been doled out. Meanwhile, virus cases in Arizona keep rising, with 3,257 new infections and 97 more deaths reported Wednesday. Family Housing Resources and more than a dozen other groups noted in a letter to Ducey last week that the Arizona Housing Department has a backlog of people trying to get rental assistance. Arizona is home to some of the hottest cities, and with over 100K COVID-19 cases, we must extend, immediately, the moratorium on rent, wrote Kirkpatrick, who represents southern Arizona, including Tucson.
