ERA2: $21.55B Rental Assistance
The Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA2) program provides $21.55 billion to the U.S. Department of the Treasury to make payments to eligible grantees so they can give financial help, housing stability services, affordable rental housing support, and eviction-prevention activities to eligible households. If you rent, these funds are meant to help eligible households keep stable housing.
Who Is Eligible To Receive ERA2
ERA2 funds are paid to States (including the District of Columbia), U.S. Territories (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa), and certain local governments that have more than 200,000 residents. Those grantees then provide the financial assistance and housing-stability services to eligible households in their jurisdictions.
