7/3 Almost 12 million children live in a household that missed rent or mortgage payments during COVID-19: survey

Summary: More households paid rent and mortgage payments during the pandemic than expected — but some households, particularly those with children, have struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic. Almost 12 million children in the U.S. live in a household that missed rent or mortgage payments in May — and parents were less confident in their ability to pay in June, according to a U.S. Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey report.
