“It’s a good time for the United States to really re-look at our housing policies,” Diana Yentel, the nonprofit National Low-Income Housing Coalition president, told Yahoo! News. “And see what changes need to be made post-pandemic or even during the pandemic to help those who were already struggling.”
COVID-19 death rates increased significantly when states lifted eviction moratoriums that were put in place to protect renters who could not make payments during the pandemic, according to a UCLA-led study released today.
According to the study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 was five times higher in the four months after eviction moratoriums expired, and the number of COVID- 19 cases doubled.
