U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge was interviewed on public television Monday about the Biden administration's housing policies.

PBS correspondent Yamiche Alcindor spoke with the former Cleveland-area Congresswoman about the administration's recent extension of the moratorium on residential evictions, her advice to landlords anxious about their mounting rental payment losses, and whether the various temporary fixes proposed by the federal government during the pandemic are merely kicking the can down the road. 

Fudge said she believed "that all of this is going to work out at some point … and that it's going to happen soon."

When asked by Alcindor about the Biden "plan to address the widening gap in black homeownership and generational wealth that has deepened during the pandemic", Fudge said that black people had been living with these problems for a "very, very long time". She said that the president had asked his administration to "look at everything through a lens of equity".
