THE ANSWER
No. A recent Supreme Court decision said Congress would need to pass new legislation for the CDC to extend the eviction moratorium beyond July 31.
WHAT WE FOUND
On June 29, the Supreme Court chose to uphold the CDC’s last eviction moratorium extension on a 5-4 decision. But Justice Brett Kavanaugh was the swing vote, and his concurring opinion made it clear he wouldn’t side with the CDC again.
“Clear and specific congressional authorization (via new legislation) would be necessary for the CDC to extend the moratorium past July 31,” Kavanaugh wrote. He said the time between the Court’s decision and July 31 would “allow for additional and more orderly distribution of the congressionally appropriated rental assistance funds.”
