Housing

The legal community and housing advocates anticipate an eviction diversion program in McLean County will see demand grow, now that the state has lifted the eviction moratorium.

Nearly a dozen eviction and foreclosure notices were filed in McLean County in the first week after an eviction moratorium expired. That includes eight evictions and three foreclosures.

McLean County Circuit Clerk Don Everhart said Tuesday landlords have filed two eviction notices since the state allowed eviction filings to resume.

For some landlords, the end to the eviction moratorium can't come soon enough.

McLean County's legal community and housing advocates have a new plan to avoid—or at least minimize—a spike in evictions once the statewide moratorium is lifted in August.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced Monday the state will plan to “phase out” its moratorium on pandemic-related evictions by August and launched a new program to provide assistance to renters and homeowners financially impacted by COVID-19.
