'If I get evicted, I have no place to go. I will literally be on the street with my dog.'
But by the end of May, only $1.5 billion had gone out. And officials are racing against the clock: The federal eviction moratorium ends July 31.
"While we have substantial funds through the American Rescue Plan, we as a nation have never had a national infrastructure to prevent unnecessary evictions," White House American Rescue Plan Coordinator Gene Sperling said recently during an eviction prevention summit. Illinois had not distributed any of its federal emergency rental assistance funds by the end of May. But by mid-July, it had distributed more than $129 million, 22% of its available funds. Residents can apply for $500 million in funding through Sunday. Another round will be available this fall.
But some renters are hesitant to participate, even though evictions can affect whether they can get a job or stay in school, hurt credit scores, get them turned down for future rentals and take a toll on their mental and physical health.
