Pacione-Zayas issues statement on Supreme Court ruling on eviction moratorium

CHICAGO – State Senator Cristina Pacione-Zayas offered the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to block the Biden administration’s COVID-related eviction moratorium:

“It is unconscionable for the Supreme Court ruling to roll back protections for renters while we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Despite rising COVID cases, the Supreme Court has decided that it is acceptable to allow people to be evicted with no place to go, putting their health and safety at grave risk.

“As a state and a country, we need to enact ways to grant the people affected immediate protections and work on a long-term plan to ensure this never happens again.”
