I don't believe the CDC has this authority: > On Thursday, the White House confirmed it would let the moratorium expire because the supreme court said it would block additional extensions unless they were authorized by Congress. The Supreme Court did vote 5-4 to leave the moratorium in place, but this NPR article provides more context: > Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who cast the fifth and deciding vote, wrote in a concurring opinion that he voted not to end the eviction program only because it is set to expire on July 31, "and because those few weeks will allow for additional and more orderly distribution" of the funds that Congress appropriated to provide rental assistance to those in need due to the pandemic. He added, however, that in his view Congress would have to pass new and clearer legislation to extend the moratorium past July 31 (https://www.npr.org/2021/06/29/1003268497/the-supreme-court-...) It sounds like the Supreme Court would block any renewed attempt to ban evictions, unless Congress was behind the attempt. |

I'm threading the needle here, but that's what SCOTUS does.
