The Next Crisis? Homelessness (POLITICO)

There is a looming eviction crisis on the verge of wreaking havoc on the nation, with housing and anti-poverty advocates warning it could drive many into homelessness.

As with many adverse effects of the pandemic, the advocates say, the impact of this crisis could be felt disproportionately by Black people and Latinos.

The federal government’s moratorium on evictions is set to expire July 31. This could complicate an already tight housing market that’s spurring soaring housing prices and rents and threatening economic recovery.
