In a hearing Tuesday, the state agency entrusted with distributing $2.7 billion in rental assistance said a lot of that money would not reach landlords before the state’s eviction moratorium expires on Aug. 31.

“There is no chance,” said Michael Hein, commissioner of the state’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which runs the program.

Hein declined to say whether the moratorium should be extended given that only $100 million, or 3.7 percent, of the aid has gone out. The commissioner did note that the 158,000 applicants would be shielded from eviction, even if their requests have not been approved by the time evictions resume.
