WASHINGTON, D.C. – The federal eviction moratorium is set to expire Friday, putting millions of Americans at risk of being kicked out of their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.The CARES Act provided certain protections from eviction and late fees due to nonpayment of rent for most tenants in federally subsidized or federally backed housing. However, those protections were only in effect from March 27 to July 24.When the moratorium ends, landlords can give tenants who haven’t paid rent 30 days’ notice and then begin filing eviction paperwork in late August.The Urban Institute estimates that the eviction moratorium applied to about 12.3 million of the 43.8 million rental units in the United States, or around 28%. If the protections are not extended, those 12.3 million renters could be at risk.So far, there aren’t any plans to extend the moratorium.However, The Washington Post reports that the House has passed legislation to create a 0 billion rental assistance fund, which would help renters at the lowest income levels for up to two years. The Senate hasn't acted on that bill. The Trump administration and Senate Republicans are hurrying to present a new coronavirus relief bill of their own before the end of the session, but it doesn’t yet appear to include protections for renters. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to roll out the GOP’s bill next week, The Post reports.The expiration of the eviction moratorium comes as communities across the U.S. see spikes in coronavirus cases, especially in the south and west. On Thursday, the number of COVID-19 cases in the country surpassed 4 million, according to Johns Hopkins University. 1673

We’re all feeling effects of the current recession, whether it’s the rising cost of groceries or the pervasive economic uncertainty. But some are feeling a bigger impact than others, and data indicates renters are disproportionately affected.Half (50%) of American renters had used or planned to use their government stimulus check for necessities at the time of an early May NerdWallet survey, conducted online by The Harris Poll. That’s compared with 32% of homeowners. Three in 10 renters (30%) used or planned to use it to pay rent, whereas 15% of homeowners used or planned to use it on their mortgage.Renters are vulnerable when expenses grow or income is slashed, due to lower average incomes compared with homeowners. Further, they don’t have access to the same built-in relief valves as mortgage-holders — such as forbearance or loan modification — when they can’t pay their monthly housing costs.Federal, state and local eviction bans protected some renters for several months, but many of those orders have since expired, and possible extensions are uncertain. Without those protections, many tenants could be on a fast track to trouble, and even with those safety nets in place, the rent bill will eventually come due.Housing costs take a bigger bite of renter incomeRenters have less insulation from economic crises. Not only do they earn less, on average, but they also spend more of their income on housing. While a loss or reduction of income could instantly push these households to the breaking point, even minor setbacks can send them closer to the edge.Renters spend 31% of their income on housing costs on average, compared with homeowners, who spend 20%, according to U.S. census data. The rising cost of groceries, unexpected medical bills, supplies for a child’s at-home education — these could pile up to make monthly bills unmanageable, even if household income isn’t affected by reduced work hours or unemployment.This isn’t to say homeowners aren’t feeling the effects of record unemployment and economic upheaval. While many homeowners have been able to take advantage of record low interest rates to refinance their mortgages, more than 8 million homeowners didn’t make their June house payments, according to the mid-July Household Pulse Survey from the U.S. Census. But that’s just 6% of homeowners, compared with 18% of renters who couldn’t pay their June rent.There is also evidence that populations hardest hit by unemployment are among the most likely to rent. For example, people in their 20s are the only age decade that’s more likely to rent than own, according to census data, and 34% of unemployment claims are being filed by those aged 22-34, more than any other age group, according to data from the Department of Labor. Also, 49% of people working in the hotel and food industry live in rentals — a far higher rate than the 36% of Americans overall — and this industry represents the greatest share of all unemployment claims.Web searches for rent relief terms peaked, and peaked againEvidence of the sustained impact on renters can be seen in Google search data, where it’s a safe assumption that people searching for terms such as “rent relief” and “rent assistance” are either experiencing or anticipating difficulties paying the rent.In mid-March, searches for terms related to housing relief jumped to levels not seen before. And while “mortgage relief” was far more common than “rent relief” or “rent assistance” that month, those terms have sustained greater search interest throughout the summer.Unlike mortgage relief terms, which have waned since April, rent relief terms sustained higher-than-normal volume after the initial jump, and peaked again in mid-July. They’re currently trending lower than both peaks, but higher still than seen in the years before the pandemic.What renters can doTenants having difficulty paying the rent have a few options at their disposal, but they may have to make tough decisions in the coming weeks and months. A legal eviction can make it difficult to find safe, affordable housing in the future, so preventing that should be paramount.Negotiate with your landlord. You may be able to work out an installment plan to pay your rent throughout the month or get caught up if you’re behind. Also, legal evictions are costly and time-consuming, so your landlord may be willing to negotiate a more graceful exit if you’re bound by a lease but unable to hold up your end of the contract.Apply for emergency assistance. The National Low Income Housing Coalition provides a database of local and state resources for emergency rent assistance. Local charities and churches may also be able to help. Visiting the website 211.org or calling 211 can help locate local resources like these.Borrow smartly. If you’re forced to borrow to keep up with your rent, weigh the costs of any loan — if you’re unable to pay it back, you could find yourself in an even worse predicament. Borrowing from friends and family is generally the least expensive option, followed by paying your rent with your credit card and, as a last resort, getting a cash advance on your credit card.Know if you’re protected from eviction. Many eviction bans at the local, state and federal levels have expired, but some remain, and lawmakers could take action to extend previous measures or enact new ones. Nolo.com maintains a database of the mixed bag of regulations, and you can check state and local government websites for details in your area.Move. Moving can be expensive and is generally a last resort. But when it gets to a point that holding on to your rental is causing more problems than it’s solving, it may be time to talk to family members and friends about finding an alternative. Living in your parent’s (or adult child’s) guest bedroom may not be ideal, but drastic times call for drastic measures, and many of us are facing circumstances we couldn’t have imagined just six months ago.Analysis methodology available in the original article, published at NerdWallet.More From NerdWalletSmart Money Podcast: Lower Mortgage Rates, and Moving During a PandemicMoving Safely in a Pandemic Takes More Planning, More MoneyCan You Have Too Much Credit?Elizabeth Renter is a writer at NerdWallet.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – One of the most contentious battles in politics isn’t just the current battle for the White House, it’s also the upcoming battle over who could ultimately end up in the halls of Congress and state capitols everywhere, in a process called redistricting.“The basic idea underlying that system is that we should form a constituency with people who live near us,” said Charles Blahous, a senior research strategist at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Virginia.New district maps are created based on census population numbers every 10 years. Yet, those maps can end up getting distorted to favor one political party over another when gerrymandering comes in to play.“I think gerrymandering is of concern to most voters because it seems to violate the foundational principle of our representative system, which is that we are divided into districts geographically,” Blahous said.Geography is something gerrymandering throws out the window. Some of the unusual congressional district maps can end up looking like animals.There is Maryland’s Democratic 3rd district, which looks like a snake, stretching from Baltimore into counties south. There is also northern Ohio’s Republican 4th district, known as “the duck.”So, who designed these?“The Constitution gives the power to state legislatures to draw these maps,” Blahous said.Since politicians draw the maps, they can be skewed to favor a particular party or incumbent. However, they can also be used to favor people from a particular racial or ethnic group, who have often been under-represented in the halls of power, in order to comply with federal Voting Rights Act rules on representation.Still, there are now efforts to take the map drawing out of the hands of politicians.In Virginia, voters will decide this November whether an independent commission should be in charge of the process instead. There are other ideas emerging, too: like using artificial intelligence to make the maps.“It takes an enormous computer capacity, which was not there 30 years ago, and writing the programming to make that all happen is also not a trivial matter,” said political science professor Bruce Cain, director of the Bill Lane Center for the American West at Stanford University.Prof. Cain said he and a colleague, Prof. Wendy Tam Cho of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, believe an algorithm they’ve developed might be the best alternative for making fairer maps.“What you want to be able to do is take every plan and classify it and say, ‘yeah, this one's better for minorities, this one's better for compactness,’ but is there something that combines both of them?” he said.It is all part of the ongoing effort to make sure America’s representative democracy remains truly representative of the people. 2801

WASHINGTON, D.C. – It’s a convergence of two health crises: the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and a new flu season now underway.“There’s not much flu in the northern hemisphere in the summer - but there is a lot in the southern hemisphere,” said Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and an infectious disease critical care and emergency medicine physician.Dr. Adalja said health care professionals have observed the flu in places like Australia and New Zealand during the past several months, which could offer clues into what might be expected here as our weather gets colder.“The southern hemisphere has had a remarkable flu season mostly because it's 99% lower than what they've seen in prior years,” Dr. Adalja said. “This has to do with the fact that the social distancing that people are doing for COVID-19 also has an impact on influenza because they're both spread in the same manner.”However, the U.S. has failed to control the spread of the coronavirus, leading to fears that the country might be facing a “twindemic,” where COVID-19 and the flu collide.The one silver lining: less international travel around the world may make it harder for the flu to spread globally like it has in years past.“The point we have to continue to emphasize is we don't know for sure if we'll have a light flu season and we have to prepare for one that's severe,” Dr. Adalja said.So far, the coronavirus has killed more than 210,000 people in the U.S. this year. According to the Centers for Disease Control, that’s more than the previous five flu seasons combined.Estimated flu season deaths:2015-16: 23,0002016-17: 38,0002017-18: 61,0002018-19: 34,0002019-20: 22,000Total 2015-2020: 178,000Still, any uptick in hospitalizations because of the flu could further strain hospitals already dealing with COVID-19. One region of concern is the upper Midwest, in places like Wisconsin, which is a current coronavirus hotspot."It is stretching our hospital capacity, and it is overwhelming our public health infrastructure,” said Andrea Palm of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.One step that could help is to ensure everyone gets a flu shot, even if it doesn’t end up being a perfect match to this year’s strain.“Even if it isn't a complete match and it doesn't prevent you from getting the flu, it still will prevent you from dying from influenza and getting hospitalized with influenza or getting complications from influenza,” Dr. Adalja said.It is also now one of the few tools available in a time of great uncertainty. 2573
