DES MOINES, IA (IRN) – Iowans on the brink of eviction are increasingly worried as renter protections end soon. A federal freeze on most evictions expires at the end of this month. Iowa has only given out 2% of rent aid received in January. That’s about $4 million out of nearly $200 million in federal money. The aid is supposed to help people cover late rent and utility bills.
