Alice Prael, of New Haven, left, and Adam, who didn’t want to give his last name, protest an impending eviction in Stratford this winter.
With an anticipated tsunami of evictions when the pandemic-inspired moratoriums are lifted, the state House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted Tuesday to provide attorneys for low-income tenants facing displacement.
If passed in the Senate and signed into law by Gov. Ned Lamont, Connecticut will become one of the first states to provide those facing eviction with the right to counsel. Washington adopted the change earlier this year, and a similar bill awaits the governor’s signature in Maryland.

Marvia Robinson was dead tired from a week of overnight long-haul trips when she nosed her Greyhound bus into the station in deep predawn darkness. Still, the 63-year-old driver kept a friendly lilt in her voice as she said goodbye to the riders filing past her and stepping off the bus. Rough night, she said minutes later, walking toward her Toyota Corolla in the parking lot. I had to put two off in Tallahassee, for drinking, and then another one in Ocala. She longed to go home to sleep.

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Marvia Robinson was dead tired from a week of overnight long-haul trips when she nosed her Greyhound bus into the station in deep predawn darkness.

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - When the country ultimately emerges from the coronavirus pandemic, millions of families will lose a protection that helps keep them in their homes.
The C.D.C.’s eviction moratorium is scheduled to end at the beginning of July. The protection, which has been extended multiple times, is primarily aimed at preventing COVID’s spread by keeping Americans housed. Once the virus is no longer a major threat to public health though, experts expect it will be allowed to expire.
