Dear DHRC members and partners,

The Department of the Treasury published today important information about its $25 billion Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program to assist households that are unable to pay rent and utilities. As you know, these funds were approved in the most recent emergency COVID-19 stimulus package, thanks your dedicated advocacy and the hard work of our congressional champions!

Payments will be made directly to states, territories, tribal governments, and local governments with more than 200,000 residents. In order for your state or locality to get its share of ERA funds, they must submit completed payment information and a signed acceptance of award terms by 11:59 pm ET on January 12, 2021.

NLIHC encourages advocates to contact their local governments and states to ensure they are aware of this short deadline and take the necessary actions to receive funds, including submitting the form accepting the award terms and completing the electronic submission document. For a list of eligible cities and counties, see the Treasury Department’s website here: https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/ERA-List-of-Eligible-Local-Governments-Final.pdf

While we await further details from Treasury, NLIHC will be sending a letter to the agency and the incoming administration to encourage them to issue clear and timely guidance to allow states and localities to quickly serve households in need.

The National Low Income Housing Coalition is dedicated solely to achieving socially just public policy that ensures people with the lowest incomes in the United States have affordable and decent homes.
