During this pandemic millions of Americans have lost their jobs and are dangerously close to losing their homes. The relief this Congress provided has kept millions of Americans housed. We must continue to act. Thirty percent of renters are not able to pay their rent in June--one in three. We passed the HEROES Act to provide emergency relief for renters and homeowners who desperately need it, because everyone deserves a safe home, especially during a pandemic when being in our houses keeps us safe. The Senate has chosen not to act on the HEROES Act so we must pass the Emergency Housing Protections and Relief Act to ensure that millions of Americans remain in their housing until this pandemic ends and they are able to go back to work. At a time of a national crisis, I urge my colleagues to please put aside their partisan bickering and obstruction and pass the Emergency Housing Protections and Relief Act.
