The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted veterans in unprecedented ways, including by increasing housing and financial instability. The CDC eviction and foreclosure moratorium, which temporarily halts evictions and foreclosures for tenants and homeowners, respectively, who are not able to make payments, will expire on July 31, 2021. NCHV is working with our partners to urge Congress to extend the moratorium and enact other programs and services that can aid Americans in need.
If you or someone you know is in need of financial assistance to catch up on rent or mortgage payments, help is available for all, and additional dedicated help is available to those who served in the military. Please use the resources below to find help.
