Most Families End Up Homeless For 2 or More Years After an Eviction |
Apartment and Housing Rentals Foundation's Eviction Prevention Program has been around for over 7 years. Our research shows that once a family/person gets an eviction on their name they are homeless for no less than 2 years. This table shows how long a person is homeless after an eviction.
- 1 year -3%
- 2 years-57%
- 3 years-15%
- 4 years-13%
- 5 years-12%
These families spend years staying with friends and families, in shelters, hotels, in their cars, and some even end up in tents or on the street.

Understanding How COVID-19 Vaccines Work |
COVID-19 vaccines help our bodies develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without us having to get the illness. Different types of vaccines work in different ways to offer protection. But with all types of vaccines, the body is left with a supply of “memory” T-lymphocytes as well as B-lymphocytes that will remember how to fight that virus in the future.
It typically takes a few weeks after vaccination for the body to produce T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes. Therefore, it is possible that a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and then get sick because the vaccine did not have enough time to provide protection.

Judge's ruling on CDC eviction ban could affect local renters
MANSFIELD - Mansfield Municipal Court is adhering to a federal judge's decision that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lacked the authority to issue a nationwide moratorium on rental evictions.
U.S. District Court Judge J. Philip Calabrese in the Northern District of Ohio ruled earlier this month that the CDC "exceeded the scope of its authority" in issuing an eviction ban for tenants who have been financially harmed by the pandemic, but stopped short of granting an injunction that would have stopped the agency from enforcing the moratorium.

The eviction moratorium is expiring. What will Biden do?
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s administration has less than a week to decide on extending the nationwide eviction moratorium, a measure that housing advocates say has helped keep most cash-strapped tenants across the country in their homes during the pandemic.
Housing advocates are confident the ban, due to expire March 31, will be extended for several months and possibly even strengthened. Still, they argue the existing moratorium hasn’t been a blanket protection and say thousands of families have been evicted for other reasons beyond nonpayment of rent.

Follow us on YouTube. Here is the latest video explaining what's going on with the eviction moratorium.

There is a new stimulus package and all Americans will get at least $1400. People with children will get more. There is even a child tax credit for those with children. This is your time to create payment arrangements with your landlords. Apartment and Housing Rentals Foundation is here to help. |
|
We will contact your landlords on your behalf and work out a payment arrangement with them. You don't have to be evicted, but the choice is yours.
