Florida Medical Workers Face COVID Evictions

All across the state, Florida families are struggling to stay in their homes. Eviction and foreclosure moratoriums have helped – as have financial aid programs funded by the federal CARES Act. These programs have not, however, stopped all evictions. And some of those struggling to stay in their homes are medical workers who need help now more than ever.

According to News 4 Jax , a Jacksonville medical worker is being targeted by her landlord after an especially tough year – even by 2020 standards. Heavenly Carter is an assistant at an ophthalmology practice in Orlando. After having her hours reduced in April, she caught COVID from a patient in July. She has since recovered from the coronavirus. She is not, however, able to return to work because of the lasting effects the virus has had on her body. Ms. Carter experienced fatigue, shortness of breath, and a lack of stamina that is typical of the illness. She has now been out of work since July. Her savings and donations from neighbors were able to cover a few months of rent, but she now owes her landlord over $2400 in past-due rent.

Worse still – a local assistance program only covered missed rent payments between April and October (the months he had already paid). Like many other COVID patients, she does not know how long these effects will last.
