AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent COVID-19 evictions and foreclosures and promote an equitable housing recovery. It establishes protections for tenants and borrowers, including requirements for landlords to exhaust rental assistance options before initiating evictions, a defense against eviction for tenants facing COVID-19-related financial hardships, and a moratorium on foreclosures and related actions for certain residential properties. The bill also requires mortgage servicers to comply with federal loss mitigation guidelines, provide notices to borrowers about available COVID-19 relief options, and offer forbearance and post-forbearance loss mitigation options. Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Housing and Community Development to distribute rental and mortgage assistance funds, prioritizing the most vulnerable residents and those hardest hit by the COVID-19 emergency.
