    I applaud the City's proposal to use CDBG funds from the CARES Act to start an Emergency Rental Assistance Program for city residents. Once the eviction moratorium is lifted many families are going to have difficulty paying their rental arrears when they are still struggling to recover from a work furlough or lay-off. Too many live pay check to pay check. If we can prevent homelessness from occurring, it will be much easier to recover from the COVID-19 crisis.
