During the coronavirus crisis: ban evictions and foreclosures, cancel rent and mortgages, and guarantee safe housing for all

The health and safety of all Massachusetts residents depends on people across our state staying home and physically distancing. To make this possible, our state government must immediately take these steps:

1. Ban evictions and foreclosures during the COVID-19 crisis and recovery period
2. Cancel rent and mortgage payments for all those unable to pay during the crisis
3. Guarantee that in the aftermath of the crisis renters and homeowners will not face eviction, foreclosure, or pressure to repay impossible levels of housing debt from the crisis
4. Provide comprehensive support to people who are unhoused or living in overcrowded conditions, including safe isolation for the sick and relocation of people in crowded shelters
