July 1: Protecting Renters, Preventing Homelessness, & COVID-19

On July 1, rent will be due again for millions of Americans who have been laid off from their employment and are struggling to make ends meet. Eviction moratoria have provided temporary relief for some renters, but those limited protections are now expiring and renters are increasingly in danger of losing their homes. Without action, large increases in homelessness are likely.
This is why many in the homelessness sector are calling for #RentReliefNOW, to prevent a pandemic of evictions on top of the COVID pandemic. Because the unemployment crisis has disparately affected Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other communities of color, and because these communities make up a disproportionate number of renters, preventing eviction is a matter of racial justice as well.
Join us to learn how to prevent homelessness among renters during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. You will become familiar with existing tools and resources to protect at-risk renters, learn about current advocacy campaigns for federal, state, and local action, and hear what we can do collectively moving forward.
