“… housing instability continues to threaten the public peace, health and safety as eviction can lead to homelessness; loss of community; stress and anxiety caused by the experience of displacement, among other issues,” town officials said.

“Therefore, the Town Council adopted an urgency ordinance to extend the moratorium in the Town of Fairfax through September 2022.“
