The Biden administration extended the mortgage relief and foreclosure ban programs through the end of June 2021 to help prevent people from losing their homes during the pandemic.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a housing affordability crisis,” a Feb. 16 written statement by the White House says, with a recent study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities finding that just over 10 million homeowners are behind on mortgage payments.
