Havlik points out, the pace is putting pressure on landlords, too. “Evictions are always a last a last resort,” he said. “We're all concerned that the rental assistance isn't reaching residents quickly enough.” The feds have called on states to dole out at least 65% of their federal rent assistance dollars by the end of September. Multiple state officials and advocates confirm, the U.S. Department of Treasury has said, if that deadline is not met, the feds could take their housing funds back, though officials haven’t definitively said they will. State officials told KGW Monday, they are not worried about that possibility.
