Governor Reynolds On Evictions And Utility Shutoff Moratorium

From Radio Iowa- Governor Kim Reynolds held a press conference Monday. At the press conference the governor spoke on the moratorium on evictions that is set to expire next week.

One idea, from the Iowa Economic Development Authority, would provide grants to apartment owners who have unemployed tenants who lost their jobs due to the pandemic. Another part of the governor’s proclamation that expires next week forbids utility shut-offs. Reynolds says she’s still reviewing all aspects of the closures and restrictions that she ordered this spring that remain in place through May 27th.
