Millions of Americans who have fallen behind on their rent could soon face eviction.

The Supreme Court has blocked the Biden Administration's moratorium, protecting renters from losing their homes.

The Supreme Court's ruling ends protections for Americans who face eviction in the next two months.

The moratorium was extended several times throughout the pandemic and was set to expire October 3.

The Supreme court ruled that the CDC's most recent extension needed to be approved by Congress, but it wasn't.

Meanwhile, there is still millions of dollars funding is available through the Emergency Rental Assistance Program.

The money is given to landlords to cover the cost of rent and utilities.

Erie County received a total of $17.7 million in emergency funding.

According to Erie County Executive, since March, a total of $10.8 million dollars been distributed, and there is still $6.9 million available for those behind on their rent.

In Erie County, 2,244 households have been assisted through the program.

“You’ve got to think about this from the renter side, and we don't want people going homeless, obviously, that's the first thing,” said Dahlkemper. “You also have to think about this from the landlord side and the fact that for many people, this is their income, and so if they're not getting their income, that's also a struggle, so this is a partnership that has to happen between the landlord and the tenant."
