An escalating blame game between President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats over the expiration of the federal eviction ban has left local officials frustrated and scrambling to deal with a wave of renters now at risk of losing their homes.
The Biden administration on Monday rebuffed calls from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats to revive the eviction moratorium, which expired Saturday, after unsuccessfully leaning on Congress to enact its own ban last week.
The White House said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lacked legal authority to reinstitute the eviction prohibition - even on a limited or targeted basis - because the Supreme Court had made clear it believed the CDC overstepped its authority.
Facing a deadlock, Pelosi and White House officials pleaded with governors and mayors to fill the void, in part by speeding up the delivery of more than $46.5 billion in federal rental assistance that has languished as state and local governments struggled to stand up programs to deliver the funds. Local officials complained that the finger-pointing was unhelpful.
“We don’t need the recriminations,” said Michael Thurmond, chief executive officer of DeKalb County, Ga., which issued its own 60-day county-wide ban after the federal moratorium expired this weekend. “We just need to come together and save these families from a potentially catastrophic set of circumstances.”

Not their homes.
My first thought,too
It’s NOT THEIR FRICKIN’ HOME
not sorry I’m yelling
Not their homes...correct.
Also, they always had the option of paying their rent.
Under the revolution there is no land ownership.
The state owns all land and property.
Anyone who objects is sent to re-education camps.
_That_ is the agenda of the Democratic Party.
Didn’t the moratorium come from FedGov? In the spirit of “The Buck Stops Here” states should tell FedGov:
It’s NOT my problem, Skippy
Yes - the “Owners” of those homes are in danger of losing their property and incomes...
Most of them have been on uE benefits plus extra $300 a week. Why were they behind on their rent?
Not their homes, needs to be said again; plus you can bet that the landlords are not going to be compensated and many small ones will be unable to continue without receiving rent.
What I am hearing from the state, the reason it is taking so long for funds to be disbursed is because of federal government oversight in the state programs. It has been over five months since my landlord application was submitted, my application has been accepted but the renter application is still under review. Still waiting on that $10K check any day now.
That is why I never wanted to own rental property.
I had zero confidence that my rights would be protected by the courts if push came to shove.

Losing their “freeloader scumbag” status in somebody else’s house.
Easy Solution: Democrat Party should pay all the overdue rent for their deadbeat pals. You know, the same people who haven’t missed a welfare check or enhanced unemployment benefit.
Perhaps they could get a job and pay their rent?
WHAT ABOUT THE LANDLORDS WHO HAVE NO INCOME IN OVER A YEAR????
Evil they were made to carry deadbeats out of their own pockets.
And this was started in the previous administration

Soooo,where will you renters go when the landlords go bankrupt???????
Perhaps they could get a job and pay their rent?
THAT'S RACIST!!!
They want them to go bankrupt.
Then government or their “friends” will buy up the foreclosed properties.
The get control, riches and shrink the middle class all in one effort.
