“RENT arrears grants as eviction ban ends in Wales” and “Surge in homelessness under way with ending of the evictions ban for renters” — these are just a couple of headlines over the past weeks related to the reality unfolding now that the ban on evictions ended on May 31, just one month before the end of the furlough.
