The White House on Thursday called on Congress to extend a moratorium on eviction that is set to expire this week.

The nationwide eviction ban was first enacted in September 2020 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of the federal government’s effort to prevent the further spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. The idea was that evicted individuals often share living spaces with relatives or friends or move into crowded homeless shelters, undermining social distancing restrictions.
