With the federal moratorium on evictions recentlybr expired and federal unemployment checks endingbr on July 31, an unprecedented eviction crisis isbr expected to soon hit the United States.br Statewide eviction moratoriums have alsobr begun to wind down, meaning eviction proceedings have resumed in more than 30 states.br John Pollock, coordinator of the National Coalitionbr for a Civil Right to Counsel, predicts there could bebr as many as 2.3 million evictions in August alone.br States such as West Virginia are expected tobr be hit harder, as nearly 60 percent of rentersbr in the state are at risk of eviction, comparedbr to 22 percent of renters in Vermont.br People of color are especially vulnerable,br with just 26 percent of Black tenants saying they have “high confidence” that they'll be able to pay rent.br Around 50 percent of Hispanic tenantsbr say that have “no or slight" confidencebr that they’ll be able to keep their homes.br This is in comparison to 50 percent of White tenants who saybr they have “high confidence” that they can continue to pay rent.br "When you look at this gap betweenbr people who can pay their rent andbr people who can’t, it’s almost hardbr to put into words how bad thebr inequality will become absentbr some major intervention.
