Roy Cooper announced on Wednesday. But the moratorium that's been in place hasn't always protect residents from being evicted. Chyna Roberts, a Raleigh resident, was evicted last week. "I was $380 short on rent," Roberts said. Roberts and her baby girl were forced out of their home after she lost her job from the pandemic and couldn't afford to pay the bills. With nowhere to go a week before Christmas, she is fortunate a friend took her and her daughter in. Roberts said she did not know that the moratorium existed, and that her landlord never informed her of the moratorium.
