"Band-Aid Over a Bullet Wound": Housing Advocates Welcome CDC Eviction Moratorium But Say It's Not Enough

The new CDC moratorium is a band-aid over a bullet wound," says Tara Raghuveer, director of KC Tenants, a tenants' rights organization in Kansas City. This is a very small step. It's the bare minimum. And for many tenants ... this will actually not offer the protections that are needed to keep them in their homes."
