COVID-19 housing policy

Abstract

Federal government response to housing challenges created by COVID-19 has been limited, leaving state and local governments to create a patchwork of solutions. State and local governments have been forced to provide eviction and foreclosure protections and relief from rent, mortgages, and property taxes as federal government support falls well short of current housing needs. In this report, the authors analyze state and local pandemic housing policy across all 50 states and 118 cities.
