With 253,000 Arizonans behind on rent, court halts eviction moratorium

The U.S. Supreme Court late Thursday, Aug. 26, 2021, overturned a federal moratorium on evictions during the COVID-19 crisis, saying that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not have the authority to impose such a rule. While some states have their own moratoriums, that is not the case in Arizona, where as many as 253,000 families may be behind on their rent. (Carolina Lopez/Cronkite News)
