Oklahoma City is looking at a flood of evictions after the COVID-19 crisis.
The Oklahoman reports that after a current moratorium on eviction hearings, thousands could lose their homes creating a homeless population not seen since the Great Depression.
The state’s unemployment rate hit record levels since the outbreak began, as nearly 100,000 Oklahomans filed initial jobless claims in the past two weeks.
The CARES Act passed by Congress put a 120-day moratorium on evictions for property owners with federal funding used for mortgages, financing or rent assistance.
