The Director of Willis Dady Homeless Services, Emily Zimmon, speaks out and says she worries that the uncertainty of how many people will be affected, scares her. She said in an interview that she believes the moratorium on evictions was lifted entirely too early. She stated that unemployment is at such a high rate and many not knowing if they will have a job due to the fast decline of the economy.
Similar organizations, such as Iowa Legal Aid, are seeing a significant increase of housing intakes. Despite the courts not pursing legal action until mid-June, spokesmen from organizations such as these encourage the people to be on standby.
The city says they will do their part in setting up an application to help those in need.
