In a two-part special extended Kaleidoscope, we discuss the new pandemic eviction moratorium. This past weekend, millions panicked when the original moratorium ended. Allison speaks with Ronald Leonard in Daytona Beach, who thought he might become homeless. Allison also speaks with a landlord in Washington, DC who is also a tenant, about how she has been affected by the eviction moratorium, and shares her take on the situation. After some questions over legality -- and some political scrambling -- the CDC issued a new moratorium that will run through October 3rd. The Alabama and Georgia chapters of the National Association of Realtors swiftly sued to block the new ban, saying the CDC bowed to political pressure. Now there's a race to fast track the release of 46.5-billion-dollars in rental aid meant to help both landlords and renters, which has been stalled in many states.
