CDC Eviction Halt ends June 30, 2021
Don’t Wait Until It Is Too Late!
Although the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has extended the moratorium on evictions of tenants unable to make rental payments until June 30, 2021, there are potential scenarios that could lead to you being evicted from your current residence and/or have your utilities turned off before the end of the moratorium.
If you are one month or more behind paying your rent or utility bill, New River Community Action (NRCA) strongly encourages you to be proactive and contact your local Emergency Assistance Office for utility assistance and/or our Housing Crisis Hotline for rental assistance (the contact information for those two programs is listed below) to see if you are eligible for services.
