NAHRO CEO Adrianne Todman Issues Statement on CDC Eviction Moratorium

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Below is a statement by NAHRO CEO Adrianne Todman on the CDC and HHS Eviction Moratorium: 

"Today, a new federal eviction moratorium takes effect.  Unlike the previous moratorium, it seeks to protect renters in private and publicly funded units. And it will, for now. It also makes a powerful statement about the inextricable link between housing and health, a link that should inform future decisions about housing investments. 

"But let's be clear. This is no better than a car without wheels or a face-mask made of fishnet. At the end of the day, we are not moving forward and renters are not protected. 

"Congress and the White House need to stop playing games and work together to approve rental assistance to help families, landlords, and, quite frankly, the entire rental market. 

"The time to act is now, before it is too late."
