(WBNG) — Local and state leaders in Lancaster, Pa are rallying to help homeowners and tenants across Pennsylvania. “The Center for Disease Controls has proposed a nationwide eviction ban that will help some renters, but here’s the problem, it doesn’t protect all renters, just some. It doesn’t stop mortgage foreclosures at all,” Governor Wolf said. The governor said all residents deserve protection against homelessness. He also said the federal government agrees with him. He said the CDC’s proposal wouldn’t assist landlords who are struggling. Wolf said 400,000 Pennsylvanians couldn’t afford to pay their rent in July.
