Originally published on December 30, 2020 5:50 pm In early December, according to the Census Bureau, more than a million Texans said they weren’t able to pay rent that month, and even more worried they’d be unable to make rent in January. About three-quarters of them are families with children in the home. For months, housing advocates, landlords and faith leaders nationwide have been warning of a looming tidal wave of evictions because millions of renters have fallen behind on rent. While many advocates expect the measures approved by Congress to help, it’s not yet clear whether they’ll be enough to keep struggling renters in their homes.
