Houston-area evictions continue for renters unaware of relief programs KTRK Share: HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Evictions skyrocketed during the pandemic and some have continued despite rental relief programs. That's because many people who need help don't know how to apply. This is why several groups including the South Texas College of Law and the Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation have banded together to help inform struggling renters of their options. ABC13 spoke with many people trying to make ends meet during these difficult times, including Coretta Harry, a Houston mother of two who said she's had a hard time with rent payments.
