Creates citywide eviction moratorium and
plans for Foreclosure Prevention Fund
BOSTON - Tuesday,
August 31, 2021 - Mayor Kim Janey today announced a Housing Stability
Agenda, following the recent ruling by the Supreme Court of the United
States to end the Center of Disease Control’s nationwide eviction
moratorium and the continuing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. As
part of the Housing Stability Agenda, the Boston Public Health
Commission's Interim Executive Director signed a new public health order
establishing a moratorium on evictions in the City of Boston, effective
immediately. Mayor Janey has also directed the Department of Neighborhood
Development to lead creation of a $5 million Foreclosure Prevention Fund,
with program information to be released next week.
“The loss of
federal eviction protections and the ongoing pandemic has put our most
vulnerable neighbors at risk of losing their homes,” said Mayor Janey. “I
am implementing a housing stability agenda to continue Boston’s public
health recovery with emergency assistance for renters and homeowners who
need help.”
The moratorium
temporarily halts residential evictions in response to the COVID-19
pandemic, including the rise of the Delta variant. The public health
order prohibits landlords and property owners from pursuing tenant
eviction proceedings in the City of Boston.
In the coming
weeks, the $5 million Emergency Foreclosure Prevention Fund will be
available to eligible homeowners to help cover costs related to
homeownership including mortgage, insurance, and condominium fee
payments. To be eligible for the Fund, a homeowner must be delinquent on
those payments. Priority will be given to those homeowners most at
risk for foreclosure. The program will be financed through both the
American Rescue Plan Act and the CARES ACT Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF).
The new eviction
moratorium and Emergency Foreclosure Prevention Fund build on the City’s
ongoing measures to protect both renters and homeowners, including
allocating $50 million to the Rental Relief Fund, distributing more than
$19 million to 3,500 households around the City at a pace exceeding state
and national averages. The recently expanded Office of Housing Stability
has also connected Boston residents to state housing relief resources. To
date, a total of 12,500 Boston households have received $72 million in
state and City housing stability assistance.
