The Administration for Community Living (ACL) has submitted a proposed information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, as required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This study focuses on understanding the impact of opioids and COVID-19 on Adult Protective Service (APS) programs. The study explores challenges faced by APS due to opioid abuse and aims to gather data on the effects of the pandemic on service needs and outcomes. Although the public was invited to comment in a previous notice, no comments were received. Findings from the study will guide ACL and federal partners in better targeting resources to address these challenges.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) extended a temporary halt on residential evictions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. This extension lasts from January 31, 2021, through March 31, 2021, and aims to protect renters from eviction if they meet certain criteria, like having a drop in income or making partial rental payments. The order seeks to prevent evicted individuals from moving into crowded settings, which can heighten the risk of spreading the virus. It also highlights available federal resources, such as rental assistance programs, to support those financially impacted by the pandemic.
