“I’m terrified”: Millions in U.S. face eviction as moratorium nears end – By Janey Shamelian (CBS News) / July 28 2021
Lavita Harvey is well aware the federal moratorium on evictions ends Saturday. The Las Vegas mother of two teenagers lost both of her jobs during the coronavirus pandemic and has been unable to pay her $900-per-month rent.
“I’m terrified. Job offers are coming in but they’re coming in very slowly,” she told CBS News. “It’s the hardest thing to see in the world when you know that you’re a single mother and you have no one to turn to, you’ll be homeless.”
Harvey has been approved for more than $9,000 in federal rent help through a local program but the money hasn’t come through yet. More than 8,000 other renters in Nevada’s Clark County are still waiting for approval.
