BEDS Bulletin! The final eviction moratorium from the CDC will expire on July 31, a date that the Biden administration, renters, landlords and housing advocates alike are focused on. The White House is pushing state and local governments and courts to do all they can to prevent evictions but some are concerned it might be too late.
