PHOENIX — Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego announced on Sunday the halting of all financial evictions from city-owned housing as coronavirus concerns rise.
“This is the responsible thing to do to ensure people have access to shelter and sanitation,” the mayor said in a tweet. “The state should ensure this protection is extended to all Arizonans during this uncertain time.”
The decision to halt evictions comes after numerous entities around the state, including school districts and events, have been closed, postponed or adjusted due to the new virus.
