One by one, she checked the cartons to make sure nothing had been stolen in the night. When asked about her Christmas plans, the rail-thin 43-year-old said through a face mask, âto try to avoid it.âÂ Then she burst into tears. The tent city that has served as Benderâs neighborhood for the past seven months is in the middle of downtown Phoenix, just down the road from luxury high-rise apartments and expensive restaurants.

Eviction Ban, Rental Assistance Approved In $900B Stimulus Deal

Following months of gridlock, top lawmakers from both parties on Monday agreed on a new $900 billion relief package, ending a stalemate that began shortly after an earlier cash infusion back in April. The deal includes downsized versions of many of the same provisions passed in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as an emergency $25 billion in rental assistance. The president must now sign the bill.

CDC Eviction Moratorium Stopped Less Than 10% Of Houston Court Proceedings

Houston Public Media Protesters march Aug. 21 outside a courthouse in Houston, where evictions are continuing despite a moratorium ordered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Like many Houstonians still experiencing unemployment related to the pandemic, Ben Abell is having a difficult year. First, he lost his job in oil and gas. Then he and his partner split up, and he had to move out. He s optimistic about finding a new job. And for now, he s couch surfing. I got demoted from full-time to part-time, which they explicitly told me was not performance-related, and I understood. It was what it was. The work slowed down,” Abell said. “And then from there, it just dried up.”
