00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Governor Mora Heeley is reminding Massachusetts landlords and lenders that

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: there's a temporary moratorium on evictions and home foreclosures for

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: federal employees impacted by the current partial government shutdown. So

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: federal employees who are working without pay or have been

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: furloughed who can't pay their rent or mortgage are protected.

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: Massachusetts is home to more than forty six thousand federal employees.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: Heally says no one should risk losing their home because

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Washington can't get its job done. The governor signed the

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: legislation last year guaranteeing the eviction foreclosure moratorium protection for

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: at least thirty days after a shutdown ends, with an

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: option that the governor could extend that to seventy five days.
