WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has extended the eviction moratorium for homeowners of properties financed or guaranteed by USDA through Sept. 30.

In a statement announcing the extension, USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Rural Development Justin Maxson said, “The United States is still reeling from a nationwide housing affordability crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. USDA is taking this important action to allow individuals and families who face eviction from homes purchased with USDA Single-Family Housing loans more time to maintain safe and stable housing, whether it’s in their current homes, or by obtaining alternative housing options."
