Just-released Census Bureau data shows that as the CDC eviction moratorium was approaching expiration at the end of last month, 11.2 percent of renters in the U.S. were not confident they could make their next rent payment.

Within California, a state-level ban on evictions doesn’t expire until Sept. 30, and funds are available to cover 100 percent of rent for renters claiming a hardship related to COVID-19.
