The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a 90-day extension of a national anti-eviction order slated to expire on March 31. In place through June with minor modifications, the policy effectively extends an anti-eviction order enacted in September under the Trump administration. "The need for rental assistance and a massive influx of cash to deal with this is really, really great," says Gretchen Purser, associate professor of sociology. "The question now is what will happen [after] June." Purser was quoted in the Law360 article, "CDC Extends Federal Anti-Eviction Order Through June."
