Emergency rental aid has helped keep millions of people in their homes during the pandemic, but that federal program will start winding down this summer.

Smaller landlords say they have suffered financially due to various state, local and federal moratoriums in place since last year.

The Virginia event in late July is part of a growing national movement — bolstered by tens of billions of dollars in federal rental assistance — to find ways to keep millions of at-risk tenants hurt by the coronavirus pandemic in their homes.

Millions of Americans face being forced from their homes with the midnight Saturday expiration of a moratorium on evictions during the pandemic.

With the federal eviction moratorium extended through July, the focus has turned to getting rental assistance out to millions of tenants.

The recent court ruling striking down a national eviction moratorium has heightened concerns that tenants won’t receive tens of billions of dollars in promised federal aid in time to avoid getting kicked out of their homes.
