Sunday, July 19, 2020 - Advocate for a moratorium on Evictions and Rent Relief

Through your generosity, our parish is helping our neighbors who face a looming housing crisis. The issue of affordable housing, always a concern in Austin, is now at the tipping point. After months without work and few job prospects, many of our neighbors face outright eviction when the moratorium ends on July 25.

Contact your elected officials about this urgent crisis. In Austin, the moratorium on eviction proceedings ends on July 25. People will move into unstable housing situations, over-crowded living conditions, or become homeless unless we ask our state and federal Representatives, Senators, and the White House to take action NOW! Visit USA.gov to find their contact information.

Tell Congress commit a portion of our nation’s vast resources to protect low-income renters through direct rental assistance and to protect lo millions of renters from eviction. Learn more at the Housing Plaza on our website.
