On January 5, 2021, the U.S. Department of the Treasury launched the $25 billion Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. ERAP assists households that are unable to pay rent and utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key Issues
ERAP is a lifeline to struggling households impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. State and local governments have been allocated unprecedented funding and must deploy this relief rapidly and efficiently to prevent a looming eviction crisis.
Governments need immediate case management solutions and grant management expertise for compliant and accurate program roll out and reporting to the federal government.
Emergency Rental Assistance payments will be made directly to States, U.S. Territories, local governments with more than 200,000 residents, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, and Indian tribes or the tribally designated housing entity of an Indian tribe,
as applicable.
