“MBA appreciates and supports the Biden administration and CFPB awareness campaign to make sure tenants and landlords take advantage of the emergency rental assistance programs available to help cover rent, utilities and other housing costs. With the CDC nationwide eviction moratorium set to expire on July 31, we are working closely with our multifamily loan servicing members to communicate to their borrowers that billions of dollars is available to help tenants and landlords in need.”
–MBA President and CEO Bob Broeksmit, CMB.
