Gov. Cooper has joined a bipartisan agreement with the governors of Maryland and Virginia to advance offshore wind projects. This collaboration will bring high-paying clean energy jobs to North Carolina and help us in our fight against climate change. https://t.co/Ok5h9yOcqU https://t.co/rrK3OThDSN — PolitiTweet.org

The NC HOPE initiative is providing critical assistance to struggling renters across the state. Each application represents a family on the edge, and we’ll continue working to protect North Carolinians from eviction. https://t.co/x2lzBKu9sk — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Cooper took action today to protect the many North Carolina families who are facing the the threat of eviction because of this pandemic. https://t.co/Bt7O5Qk36F — PolitiTweet.org

Our first responders make sacrifices and go the extra mile every day to help North Carolinians in crisis. Read the proclamation for First Responder Appreciation Day here: https://t.co/hoMTvlsEmd — PolitiTweet.org

Many families are trying to do the right thing but are struggling due to this pandemic. Today, Gov. Cooper signed an Executive Order to prevent evictions and help North Carolinians stay in their homes. https://t.co/0KiyS1g9AF https://t.co/hGrDi5jd0t — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

These actions are simple, but effective. And if we all do them – even with extended family and friends – we can get through this. Let’s keep taking care of each other and let our resilience take center stage. There is light at the end of this tunnel. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I believe a safe and effective vaccine will come and that treatments for those who get sick will get better. In the meantime, let’s save lives and make our economy stronger by wearing a mask, washing your hands and waiting six feet apart. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As we grapple with this pandemic, let’s remember that our economy will only be as strong as our efforts to stamp out this virus. Recovery depends on us taking this virus seriously and doing our part to prevent its spread as we work toward a vaccine and more effective treatments. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The result during this global pandemic will be more people staying in their homes, more landlords getting rent and fewer utility companies shutting off power. NC HOPE remains available to assist people with payments by calling 2-1-1 or visiting https://t.co/XurklrsrFp. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This Order makes it clear that the CDC moratorium applies to all eligible North Carolinians, not just those who live in federally subsidized housing. And it ensures that recipients of North Carolina’s HOPE program are still able to qualify for these protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Today’s order builds on the CDC’s federal eviction moratorium. It requires landlords to ensure tenants are aware of the CDC protections and how to claim them. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Without today’s action, almost a quarter of a million eviction filings could be submitted by January 2021. Many families are trying to do the right thing, but this virus has made it difficult. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Therefore, today, I have signed a new Executive Order to prevent evictions in North Carolina for people who can’t afford the rent. Roughly 300,000-400,000 households across North Carolina are currently unable to pay rent. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I also thought about how many families still face eviction. Some are able to seek protection under the current CDC moratorium preventing evictions for certain people, but there is a lot of confusion with landlords, tenants and the courts. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The money is paid directly to landlords & utility providers. It ensures renters can stay in their homes with the lights on. As I saw the more than 23,000 applications we received in 14 days, I thought about how each one represents a family on the edge having to make hard choices. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Two weeks ago, we started our NC HOPE initiative. This provides renters who are at 80 percent or less of the median income of a county with up to six months back rent and utility payments. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

It doesn’t mean you don’t trust each other. It means you care about each other. As the pandemic continues to affect our way of living and working, many families are facing difficult economic times. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Today, we need people to hear us loud and clear – if you're gathered with anyone who does not live in your household, you are at risk and they are too. Wear a mask and practice social distancing. Many people can have the virus and don’t know it. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

But contact tracers are finding that many cases come from smaller gatherings of extended family and friends — youth group outings, family meals, church. We too often let our guard down when we are with people we know and trust. But knowing and trusting doesn’t stop the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

North Carolina is seeing high case counts and hospitalizations from COVID-19 as this virus continues spreading throughout our state. We know large gatherings can spread this virus rapidly, particularly when masks are ignored. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have 266,136 cases; 2,253 new cases reported since yesterday; 1,193 people in the hospital, and sadly 4,245 people who've lost their lives. We remember all those we have lost as we keep their families in our prayers. — PolitiTweet.org
