BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — The COVID-19 pandemic has left many people struggling financially.

In September, more than 6 million Americans failed to make payments on their homes.

That's according to The Mortgage Bankers Association.

The Trump administration did recently put a moratorium on evictions for people making less than $99,000 a year, but that ends on December 31st, and without another stimulus from Congress,
some economists worry these payments could leave more Americans homeless come early next year.
