Landlords Hold Off on Evictions

“Instead of the expected surge in evictions, many landlords are holding off, waiting for the federal money to come through,” the AP reports.

“After a slow start, the pace to distribute the first $25 billion installment of $46.5 billion in rental assistance is picking up. Treasury Department officials said the program had served 420,000 households in August — up from 340,000 in July — and distributed $7.7 billion since January.”
