A homeless encampment in Portland.

The federal eviction moratorium got another extension, to the end of July. That at least postpones a sudden flood of people onto the streets, but it does not solve some systemic problems with Americans and their dwellings.

RWJF is primarily about health, but decent housing is obviously a major component of health.

Abbey Cofsky from RWJF visits to talk about current and ongoing issues.
