The last statewide eviction protections for low-income California tenants affected by COVID-19 ended July 1, but many still haven’t heard back about their rent relief applications.

The proposal would extend California’s statewide evictions moratorium through Sept. 30.

The state is poised to embark on an ambitious, complex effort to cover the unpaid rent of low-income renters who struggled during the pandemic.

The state’s eviction freeze will likely be extended past June 30, and lawmakers could finish haggling over details this week. The big issues include how long the extension will last and how much rent relief will cover.

With two months before the moratorium expires on June 30, there is no proposed legislation on giving renters more time.

Housing advocates have been sounding the alarm on what they say will be an unparalleled wave of evictions early next year.
