‘Flood of evictions’ looms in Los Angeles as pandemic tenant protections expire – By Danielle Kaye (NPR) / Dec 3, 2022
LOS ANGELES — Tenant protections in Los Angeles County that have kept families housed throughout the pandemic are set to end Dec. 31, meaning more than 30,000 households could face eviction by the end of the year, according to researchers’ estimates based on county Superior Court records.
The expiration of pandemic-era tenant protections and emergency housing will likely be devastating for low-income families in the country’s largest county, where at least 69,000 people are already experiencing homelessness, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s latest count.
Evictions mean the end of newfound stability for many.
The eviction moratorium for the City of Los Angeles is set to expire Jan. 31., 2023 — one month after the county’s.
