HUD is required to develop a
competitive grant program to fund
nonprofit or governmental entities to
provide legal assistance (including
assistance related to pretrial activities,
trial activities, post-trial activities and
alternative dispute resolution) at no cost
to eligible low-income tenants at risk of
or subject to eviction.
In connection with the COVID–19
emergency, the CARES Act was enacted
on March 28, 2020. It placed a
moratorium on eviction in all federallyassisted housing and federally-backed
mortgages through July 24, 2020. The
expiration of that moratorium was
followed by an Order from the Centers
of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

temporarily halting evictions for
nonpayment of rent on September 4,
2020, which has since been extended
until June 30, 2021.
As households continue to struggle
with income loss and accumulating
back rent, the threat of evictions has
grown considerably. The Household
Pulse Survey Phase 2, found that the
week of April 14, 2021, over 6 million
renter households were behind on their
rent payments and another 4.2 million
were not confident they would be able
to make their payment on time. 2.9
million renter households report
eviction was likely or somewhat likely
in the next two months. Housing
instability caused by formal and

informal evictions has significant
economic, physical and mental
consequences. Research has found
eviction protection services, including
services such as legal representation,
housing navigators, education and
outreach, and assistance completing the
legal forms to respond to an eviction
notice, reduce evictions and increase
housing stability for low-income renters.
The Eviction Protection Grant Program
will provide $20 million to support
eviction protection services in areas
with high rates of eviction or probable
eviction to low-income tenants at risk of
or subject to eviction.
The emergency review is needed to
fulfill Congress’ intent for the Eviction

need for which Congress appropriated
them and reduce the harm these tenants
will face without access to eviction
protection services.

parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
