Texas Supreme Court extends and expands eviction diversion program and last updated 2021-07-23 19:21:52-04 The nationwide eviction moratorium will end Tuesday, but the state supreme court is stepping in to help Texans facing eviction. The Texas Eviction Diversion Program initiated by Governor Greg Abbott, uses 171 million dollars from CARES Act funding for rental assistance and legal services for Texans facing eviction. The program initially offered to a select group of counties, is now available to all Texans and will be extended until October 1st. It's a program housing advocates say is essential. The extension is good news for renters and housing advocates like Barbara Bozon, the Executive Director of the Central Texas Housing Consortium.
