HARRISBURG, August 13 – Today, state Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler, D-Phila., announced the formation of a statewide Housing Working Group to deal with the impact of COVID-19 and address the serious housing needs of renters and homeowners across her legislative district and the commonwealth. “The goal of this working group I helped create with the House Democratic Caucus is to give our constituents a direct way to share their opinions and experiences with us and with the governor. Everyone should have a place to call home always, but especially during this pandemic.” The Housing Working Group will bring together lived experiences from residents across Fiedler’s district and the commonwealth, as well as draw on internal multidisciplinary support in the fields of urban affairs, human services, local government and more. Members of the Working Group have dedicated themselves to pushing for a variety of legislative and executive actions to ensure everyone has a place to call home. Fiedler encouraged Pennsylvanians to share their experiences and to voice their opinions by completing a new public online form launched today by House Democrats. The form will remain open for public comment for a week, after which lawmakers will process and submit it to the governor with their recommendations for action. The state’s foreclosure and eviction moratorium is slated to expire on Aug. 31. Fiedler said part of her motivation for Read more

In light of the COVID-19 public health emergency, state Reps. Elizabeth Fiedler, D-Phila., and Carol Hill-Evans, D-York, on Monday sent a letter signed by 43 PA House Democratic Caucus colleagues to Gov. Tom Wolf urging him to extend the state’s eviction moratorium, currently set to expire July 10. “Anyone who has moved to a new home knows the physical, logistical and emotional toll a move can take, especially if children are in the home.” Fiedler said. “In cases where a forced move occurs due to eviction or foreclosure, trauma often compounds the financial instability that prompted the initial inability to pay.” In their letter, the legislators emphasize that public health predictions indicate COVID-19 will continue to take a toll on families and the economy well into next year and highlight the need to plan for that scenario. “For months, we have encouraged people to stay home as much as possible. Our constituents need and deserve to have that roof over their head,” the letter states. Fiedler and Hill-Evans express ed their appreciation for steps the governor has already taken and urged him to go further. The letter calls for extending the foreclosure and eviction moratorium until Dec. 31, offering additional financial relief for homeowners, renters and landlords, and charting a longer-term plan to Read more
