WASHINGTON (AP) � The White House says that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was “unable to find legal authority for a new, targeted eviction moratorium."

It asks that states and local governments put in policies to keep renters in their homes.

Mass evictions could potentially worsen the recent spread of the COVID-19 delta variant. Roughly 1.4 million households told the Census Bureau they could “very likely� be evicted from their rentals in the next two months.

But the Biden administration says it is unable to take action. But it also notes that state-level efforts to stop evictions would spare a third of the country from evictions over the next month.
