After the previous one was found unconstitutional, the CDC late Tuesday issued a new moratorium on evictions in attempt to keep renters in their homes as the coronavirus’ delta variant has spread.
Manhattan Housing Authority Executive Director and City Commissioner Aaron Estabrook called the extension good news.
Estabrook tells KMAN that the extension buys some time for the city to get more information out to those who may need aid.
He notes, though, that there are longer range considerations that the assistance won’t address.
The moratorium would temporarily halt evictions in counties with “substantial and high levels” of virus transmissions, including those in the Flint Hills.
