You know the eviction moratorium was put in place to “avoid spreading covid”, so if a tenant still hasn’t been vaccinated and haven’t already got covid they can argue they are at a higher risk of spreading covid, so therefore they should not yet be able to get evicted. Maybe that is how you extend the moratorium.

Biden asked both the CDC and Congress to extend the moratorium, neither did. The CDC could have extended it on the same medical basis they used before. I don't know why Congress gave up on it. Maybe Biden can act himself, who knows what is allowed. The real fault seems to lie with the states though who didn't distribute the money they were supposed to, though you could also say that the relief money was delayed too long (this crisis didn't happen overnight, everyone knew it was coming). I wonder what will happen to that money now, does it still go to the landlords? If the tenants are evicted then they no longer have much reason or time to file the paperwork claiming the need (or can cancel any request they already made, though the landlords can file the paperwork themselves in some cases) and hence it seems likely some landlords do not get paid at all and the states keep the money or have to give it back (losing the taxes that would have been paid on it as well). Sounds like everyone involved loses. Tenants get evicted who could have continued paying future rent if they'd gotten the support thus completely disrupting their lives, some landlords don't get payed because tenants don't think they need apply for the support because they've been evicted possibly moving out of state to stay with relatives, the CDC gets more ill will as does Congress, and the president looks bad too, plus it costs society a lot more for a long time to come.
