Program and will be used by HUD to
determine that the grant applicant meets
the requirements of the Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
Information collected is also used to
assign points for awarding grant funds
on a competitive and equitable basis.
The information is collected via a
narrative and the budget form.
Information collected from grantees
post-award will be used by HUD to meet
its statutory program monitoring and
demonstration obligations.
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 federally-assisted 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 was
subsequently extended until July 31,
2021, nationally and until October 3,
2021, in areas with substantial or high
levels of community transmission of
COVID–19.
As households continue to struggle
with income loss and accumulating
back rent, the threat of evictions has
grown considerably. The Household
Pulse Survey Phase 3.1 found that the
week of June 23, 2021, over 7.4 million
renters were behind on their rent
payments and another 4.9 million were
not confident they would be able to
make next month’s payment. With the
expiration of the CDC’s national
moratorium looming, 3.6 million renters
reported 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, court navigators,
education and outreach, and assistance

Report, 2880; NOFO narrative; HUD Client Services and Outcomes Report,

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
information is collected in connection with HUD's Eviction Protection
Grant Program and will be used by HUD to determine that the grant
applicant meets the requirements of the Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO). Information collected is also used to assign points for
awarding grant funds on a competitive and equitable basis. The
information is collected via a narrative and the budget form.
Information collected from grantees post-award will be used by HUD to
meet its statutory program monitoring and demonstration obligations.
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 federally-
assisted 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 was
subsequently extended until July 31, 2021, nationally and until October
3, 2021, in areas with substantial or high levels of community
transmission of COVID-19.
As households continue to struggle with income loss and
accumulating back rent, the threat of evictions has grown considerably.

another 4.9 million were not confident they would be able to make next

eviction protection services in areas with high rates of eviction or
probable eviction to low-income tenants at risk of or subject to

This notice updates HUD's previously approved emergency review
request to include HUD's proposed form for collecting information about
client services and outcomes. Grantees will be expected to submit this
information to HUD with its post-award quarterly reports. This review
is needed to fulfill Congress' intent for the Eviction Protection grant
program to expeditiously provide funds to meet the need for which
Congress appropriated them, reduce the harm these tenants will face
without access to eviction protection services, and enable HUD to meet
its statutory program monitoring and demonstration obligations for this
