ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:
The federal eviction moratorium is set to expire at the end of this month. Efforts are being stepped up to distribute $46 billion in emergency rental aid and to head off eviction cases before they end up in court. NPR s Pam Fessler reports.
PAM FESSLER, BYLINE: There s nothing simple about trying to avoid eviction. Shelley Miller with the Alexandria Eviction Prevention Partnership in Northern Virginia knows that all too well.
SHELLEY MILLER: It s been a rough go, and nobody was prepared for this on any level, any front.
FESSLER: She and colleagues at local nonprofits have been helping a steady stream of tenants. Some are in more dire need than others. One man arrived at their outreach clinic last week with an envelope stuffed with papers, including a court notice saying he was about to be evicted the following day.
