Eviction Moratorium Extended

The eviction moratorium has been extended through the end of January. A staff attorney with Southeast Louisiana Legal Services said the news comes as a relief to dozens of individuals and families worried about losing the roof over their heads. She encouraged renters to reach out to their landlords and make every effort to pay some rent, even if the amount is small. Meanwhile, housing advocates are asking lawmakers to approve more funding to help people struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.
