During a family gathering earlier this month, 10-year-old Jayden Klink stood next to the Christmas tree looking at the handmade ornaments of handprints and said the holiday is about spending time with family, not buying gifts.

More American renters could be evicted from their homes in January than in any month ever, as protections put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic expire unless a last-minute deal is reached to extend them.

The moratorium protects tenants who have missed monthly rent payments from being thrown out of their homes if they declare financial hardship. The CDC ordered the halt on evictions under the Public Health Service Act, which allows the federal government to enact regulations that help stop the spread of infectious diseases.
