| Good Morning Boston,
🌧 Showers, with a high of 61. Thunderstorms possible after 3 p.m.
Last week in this newsletter, I mentioned the state's eviction moratorium is set to expire Oct. 17. There's been no move to extend the date, but help may be on the way. Let's take a closer look:
- The Baker administration says it will release $171 million in aid, but advocates say it's not enough.
- And more evictions mean there could be an influx of surrendered pets. Michael Keiley of the MSPCA says the No.1 reason people surrender animals is housing. The agency has guidance on surrendering a pet here.
- Remember that evictions are not legal without a court order. Here's more information from the state about the legal process.
P.S. - What does the American flag mean to you? NPR asked its listeners and got back some fascinating responses. — Meghan Kelly
