SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A federal freeze on most evictions enacted last year is scheduled to expire Saturday, after the Biden administration extended the original date by a month. The moratorium, put in place by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in September, was the only tool keeping millions of tenants in their homes. The U.S. Census estimates that more than 11,000 people in Utah are at risk of eviction and foreclosure in an tight housing market that grew even tighter during the pandemic. But the state still has about $150 million in federal funding to help tenants with outstanding rent.
