The state of Florida has received more than $870 million from the federal government to make landlords whole and keep renters in their homes during the pandemic, and expects to receive a grand total of more than $1.56 billion as more money is distributed.
Itâs given out around 2 percent of what itâs gotten so far.
For the first time in about 15 months, starting at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, there will be no barrier to Florida evictions moving forward, barring last-minute action by Congress. Hundreds of thousands of Florida renters are estimated to be at risk of losing their homes, just as the delta variant is causing renewed apprehension among health experts.
