By an unanimous vote of the Somerville Board of Health, the local eviction moratorium is extended until April 30 of next year.
For everyone who owes back rent/mortgage and every landlord looking to collect back rent, there is rent/mortgage assistance available. Contact the Somerville Office of Housing Stability at 617-625-6600 x2581 or the Community Action Agency of Somerville at 617-623-7370.
I continue to wish there was monthly data concerning how many people are behind and by how much. Is extending the eviction moratorium giving those behind a realistic chance to catch up, or is it further delaying a bunch of inevitable eviction (quite possibly while the landlord suffers deeper losses)?
