About this episode
More than 25 million Americans have been receiving expanded federal
unemployment benefits — $600 a week.

Congress is unlikely to agree on new package before the end of next week. And temporary moratoriums on evictions are coming to an end in many places around the country.
NPR's Noel King spoke with Matt Desmond, founder of Princeton University's Eviction Lab
, about what could happen if Congress doesn't provide more help, and why so many American families were already in trouble before the pandemic.
