Summary

Ensuring Affordable Housing Security During the Coronavirus Emergency Act of 2020

This bill provides for housing assistance during the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) public health emergency.

Specifically, tenants in certain federally assisted housing shall not be required to make rent payments from the date of the bill's enactment until six months after the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration.
