Abstract:
COVID-19 hit while the United States was already experiencing an affordable housing crisis. The pandemic's public health and economic impacts stand to magnify and accelerate the housing crisis, hitting communities of color the hardest, while simultaneously presenting a heightened threat to the residents and children who currently live in affordable housing units. America's families have proven remarkably resilient, but expired and insufficient federal assistance measures threaten a wave of destabilizing evictions. Congress and the Trump administration must move quickly and cooperatively to: (1) Ensure all Americans are stably housed until the public health threat of COVID-19 diminishes. (2) Strengthen health and housing partnerships and improve housing conditions as Americans spend more time at home.
