How the end of a pandemic-era protection against eviction impacts Mass. residents
ResumeUnder Chapter 257, a section of Massachusetts state law passed during the pandemic, evictions must be paused if a tenant has a pending application for rental aid.

WBUR's Deborah Becker speaks with Kelly Turley, of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, about how the end of the policy will impact Massachusetts residents.
