As the coronavirus situation continues to evolve, numerous cities and states have implemented temporary pauses on evictions and utility disconnections. However, with the abundance of pandemic-related updates everywhere, it can be challenging to find this specific information without distractions.
Princeton University’s Eviction Lab has compiled a comprehensive list of state and municipal eviction policy changes. The list includes key federal policy updates at the top, followed by an alphabetical listing of states. Each entry outlines the type of action and the dates it applies, with links for further information.
The directory is regularly updated as new details become available.
Here’s a glimpse of the directory to help illustrate how policies can differ across different regions:
For instance, some regions have clearly defined end dates for their eviction moratoriums, while others have suspended evictions indefinitely. Some areas have ensured that water and electricity will remain on, while others have guaranteed that all utilities will stay active.
The website also provides links to federal policy updates, such as programs like the USDA’s food assistance program.
If you have any information you'd like the Eviction Lab team to include in the directory, you can reach out to them.
