ACTION: Agency order. AGENCY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces the extension of an Order under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act to temporarily halt residential evictions to prevent the further spread of COVID–19. DATES: This Order is effective April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tiffany Brown, Acting Deputy Chief of Staff, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS H21–10, Atlanta, GA 30329. Phone: 404–639–7000. Email: cdcregulations@ cdc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background This Order further extends the original temporary eviction moratorium Order published on September 4, 2020, as initially extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and further extended by the Order published on January 29, 2021 set to expire on March 31, 2021, with modifications through June 30, 2021. Because of COVID–19, household crowding and transmission, and the increased risk of individuals sheltering in close quarters in congregate settings such as homeless shelters, which may be unable to provide adequate social distancing as populations increase, extending the temporary halt on evictions, subject to further extension, modification, or rescission, is appropriate. The Order is extended through June 30, 2021 based on current and projected epidemiological context of SARS-CoV–2 transmission throughout the United States. Although daily incidence of COVID–19 decreased and plateaued between January and March 25, 2021, widespread transmission continues at high levels, making the Order still necessary, especially given that previous plateaus have led to secondary and tertiary phases of acceleration.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Department of Health and Human Services Order Under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264) and 42 Code of Federal Regulations 70.2 Temporary Halt in Residential Evictions To Prevent the Further Spread of COVID–19 Summary Subject to the limitations under ‘‘Applicability,’’ a landlord, owner of a residential property, or other person 1 with a legal right to pursue eviction or possessory action, shall not evict any covered person from any residential property in any jurisdiction to which this Order applies during the effective period of the Order. Definitions ‘‘Available government assistance’’ means any governmental rental or housing payment benefits available to the individual or any household member. ‘‘Available housing’’ means any available, unoccupied residential property, or other space for occupancy in any seasonal or temporary housing, that would not violate federal, state, or local occupancy standards and that would not result in an overall increase of housing cost to such individual. ‘‘Covered person’’ 2 means any tenant, lessee, or resident of a residential property who provides to their landlord, the owner of the residential property, or other person with a legal right to pursue 1 For purposes of this Order, ‘‘person’’ includes corporations, companies, associations, firms, partnerships, societies, and joint stock companies, as well as individuals. 2 This definition is based on factors that are known to contribute to evictions and thus increase the need for individuals to move into close quarters in new congregate or shared living arrangements or experience homelessness. Individuals who suffer job loss, have limited financial resources, are low income, or have high out-of-pocket medical expenses are more likely to be evicted for nonpayment of rent than others not experiencing these factors. See Desmond, M., Gershenson, C., Who gets evicted? Assessing individual, neighborhood, and network factors, Soc Sci Res. 2017;62:362–377. doi:10.1016/ j.ssresearch.2016.08.017, (identifying job loss as a possible predictor of eviction because renters who lose their jobs experience not only a sudden loss of income but also the loss of predictable future income). According to one survey, over one quarter (26%) of respondents also identified job loss as the primary cause of homelessness.
