Evicted tenants protest for housing inside City Hall

• Advocates with Detroit Eviction Defense fear many tenants, unaware of the extension, are now facing the prospect of living at a shelter or on the street.
• The Treasury Department requires part of the state's COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance (CERA) program to be used by June 30, the Free Press reports.

What they're saying: "People are still in hotel rooms that are being paid for through the COVID relief money … when that runs out, where will they go?" Joe McGuire, an attorney and member of the housing justice group, tells Axios.

By the numbers: Between 100 and 200 individuals are living in metro Detroit hotels using CERA, according to the Detroit Housing and Revitalization Department.

• The program was meant to be temporary so that people can secure housing. But tenants at Tuesday's protest said there aren't enough affordable units.

The bottom line: Individuals using the city hoteling program have until the end of the month to find new housing.

• "The City of Detroit has not dedicated enough resources to ensure that tenant rights are protected," McGuire says. "And now these tenants are in a terrible situation and need help.”
