UPDATES:

Indigenous People's Day: Today and everyday we must respect and honor Tribal Nations and remember whose land we are on. Follow along with us online today as we illuminate the work being done by the Native communities in Nevada to ensure their voices are heard. Check out "A Healing Dance," made in partnership by Nevada State College & Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, poem written by Beverly Harry.

Eviction Moratorium: The CDC issued a national moratorium on most evictions for tenants impacted by COVID through December 31, 2020. You’re covered by the moratorium order if you:

Are unable to pay full rent due to loss of income or medical expenses
Make less than $99,000 in annual income or received a stimulus check
Would become homeless or have to live in crowded/substandard housing if evicted
Have tried to access government assistance for rent or housing
Have tried to make partial payments based on what you can afford

For more information about the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Eviction Moratorium, check out these fact sheets from Legal Aid of Southern Nevada.
